This is the first Clint Eastwood film that I didn't bother to watch straight through on video. It was a little boring compared to his other films. He seemed to be playing the role so straight as compared to his wise-cracking, glaring, sarcastic characters of other crime films. Oh, well, I'll try to finish it tonight!
shareA horrible film. It's all Pitt's, Primo's and Swift's without it ever explaining who is who and who and why they are doing things to each other. I still don't know why Roundtree's character was killed.

as I type this, I am watching it for the 1st time since 1989...for old-times sake I guess...I expected better from a film with both Clint & Burt

But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn. And you just stepped over it, buddy-boy.

I think the main problem was that the producers couldn't decide whether they wanted a straight action film or a parody. They went the glass half-full way and predictably it never really worked out.
shareBurt was the wise-cracker to Clint's straight man, maybe that's why.
