the film be a poorly make attempt at 50 film noir and complete with hack narration from paul newman . the film have the potential to be very good represent a good director and top star ( newman and hackman and sarandon etc ) . it isn not . the plotline be thin . how many more time be we to have a wash up cop a the lead character . the script and dialogue be poor . bad of all and the acting be wooden . you get no sense that the actor have be give the time to familiarise themselves with their character . even if they have and the script be so poor that they would have nothing meaningful to say anyway . this be a film equivalent of painting by number . the film have the look and feel of something that have be make quickly and with a minimal budget . it might be make by the same team who make nobody fool and but do not be fool by the comparison . nobody fool be a good film . this one be a dog .
