i appreciate movie like this represent smart and well craft and entertain and absorb and well act and nicely direct . nobody even pacino be chew the scenery and try to stand out while one of the film most effective moment ( aielo pulling over at his beloved off ramp ) be chill precisely because of it restraint . not as good a and say and quiz show and city hall be of a similar cloth represent engage the mind as well a eye and ear and and heart . why such well hewn entertainment flop at the box office be anybody guess . you know and pacino do chew it up in one particular scene and but precisely because it require . great scene and too .
