i felt so move after watch this film . steve mcqueen do a terrific job act a henry . although at time and he just act a mcqueen and he do a wonderful job express suffer in the solitary confinement scene and and great towards the end of the movie . hoffman be always an exceptional actor and in this movie he be no different . unfortunately it neither win for and nor get nominate for an oscar and and it deserve to win 3 ( support actor and actor and picture ) . as much a i love the sting and this movie be good for that year . some critic give it a bad review and even a 1973 roger ebert article criticize this film . i guess you cant blame them too much and movie be good those day . note that 1973 be sandwich between 2 godfather year . maybe some people figure that mcqueen be just redo his great escape role . either way and nowadays film be so bad i be just thirst for a movie this deep . but if the best hollywood can do nowadays be a glittzy trashpiece like chicago and we cant expect too much from our time .
