Lafrance-If this is considered a paycheck film of his, it's a damn good one as I just love how he infuses it with so much style and bring a lot of weight to what is at stake.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-85523180600736935682016-02-03T07:37:59.620-08:002016-02-03T07:37:59.620-08:00Now, this IS what I'm talking about!

He really makes the material so dynamic with all of the wonderful camerawork. Just incredible. This is one of those films where if I happen to catch it partway through on TV, I end up watching the rest of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-16489684139870626842016-01-09T21:23:20.485-08:002016-01-09T21:23:20.485-08:00@jwforeva-You're welcome.

I've heard of it but thanks for fueling my interest again.

As for Connery, I much prefer <i>The Hunt for Red October</i> as my favorite performance from Connery, outside of James Bond.<br /><br />@ruth-I decided to revisit it and man, it still holds up. I love everything about it from the sense of style to the cast itself. I can't find any faults with it. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-23047764261929547142016-01-05T08:35:58.506-08:002016-01-05T08:35:58.506-08:00It's been a while since I saw this but I LOVED...It's been a while since I saw this but I LOVED this film! Such a great story, wonderful cast and something you can revisit time and again. It could be one of Connery's best work but I love Costner here as well. I forgot the script was Mamet's no wonder it was so good!ruthhttp://flixchatter.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-30735147935310326702016-01-05T08:25:15.530-08:002016-01-05T08:25:15.530-08:00This is an absolutely brilliant film.
