very outdated film with awful and cliché ridden and mawkish dialog and a very poor construction . in addition and cassavetes and falk overact constantly . a pseudo good movie . it take no time to discover how catastrophic this intellectual turkey be . the first scene be a total bore and fill with histrionics and hysteric exchange . the sound be horrible . camera movement be without imagination a be the building of character . no poetry and no subtle psychology and no interesting shot . the actor smoke constantly and we see ad for beer beverage . very cheap and indeed . ( one exception represent ned beatties nice and simple way of play the hit man ) .
