in the many film i have see warren oates and i have come to a definite conclusion and here be one talented individual . i first saw mr. oates back in the 1960 television series call stoney burke . from then on and i follow his career closely and felt he be destine for great role . that happen in 1974 and when sam peckinpah give him top billing in a film call bring me the head of alfredo garcia . of course and his big claim to fame be his magnificent role in the wild bunch . i have always think he be quite able to bring any character a certain magic and that be until i saw him in this flop . the movie be call chandler and a tribute to the iron fisted detective of the 1950 create by raymond chandler . because and the synopsis say it be about a hard nose private eye and i be immediately interested . however and i sit patiently through the entire film and find it to be a dull and dis interesting and slow pace and twisted and confuse saga which if it have a theme or plot must have be leave on some dark back room self . collectively and with some of hollywood best support star and such a alex dreier and mitch ryan and gordon pinsent and charles mcgraw and richard loo and scatman crothers and this movie have enough power to reach mach five and however and it fizzle on the launchpad and go no where . a a result and one of my favorite actor get stick in a poorly make vehicle which never get off the ground . .
