it refresh to see consummate actor ply their trade and especially one with the skill of paul newman . it especially wonderful to see this skill apply to a film like nobody fool . in twilight and newman be reunite with nobody fool director screenwriter robert benton and be essentially play the same character . only this time the character be place in a manipulative plot that seem like retread from good crime film . it simply a window for newman to show be talent . other screen veteran gene hackman and susan sarandon and james garner ( who be just a natural in front of a camera a newman ) be also on display and but be not give the screen time to display their skill . it really newman picture and the rest of the actor be simply guest . stockard channing be underused in the role of a police investigator and one of my favorite character actor and m. emmet walsh be completely waste in the role of a. well . a corpse and i guess . the message about people in the twilight of their year be heavy hand and the story make absolutely no sense logically . but it good see newman at the top of his form now and if he will only pick out good project in which to display his talent .
