He's ...This is Chris Walken's feature film! He's fantastic as "The Kid" & boy, IS he a kid in this! Adorable- and he is fantastic in it. Every one is- this film had some talk about it being one of the first films to make use of the "surveillance state" as part of the plot. One plot point MANY people may miss- or not pay too much attention to- is the voice recordings being used as blackmail by the very Jewish (yes, it matters) sugar daddy of Dyan Cannon. I feel the writer's let a BIG cat out of the bag with this one. Perhaps it was intentional? During that time, CIA & organized crime (Jewish run,not Italian) made frequent use of blackmail using video and/or tape recordings. This is not a publicly known fact, but well known in law enforcement and government surveillance circles. <br /><br />You say most of the film is "wobbly"?? I disagree! It's EXCELLENT. Garrett Morris does play a cop here, and unlike many cop films, he actually gets injured (slightly) during his capture of the bad guys,SPOILER ALERT: he got terrible friction burns. In fact during that scene toward the end, I was literally worried about Morris character- gosh how would he be able to hold on to those ropes with those "burns"? <br />I'd give it a very groovy. Also on Netflix, many of the 70s memorable films are, and I hope for some time. Often overlooked film, and it shouldn't be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
