really dreadful piece of schlock . i can only imagine that the author of the book it be base on be disappoint ( or be handsomely pay ) for the right . i can not complain about the acting and such a it be . it feature a good cast but there not much they can do with what theyre give . i have never be impress with brian de palma . i find his work highly overrate and over the top . what he do to poor poor cassevetes in this be just awful . the bad part be the very end and in a way reveal the de palma bad instinct . the amy irving character basically make him explode . this be gory enough . but it give de palma an opportunity to show the body explode ( and it be special effect circa 1978 it not anything realistic ) from five or six angle . i mean you see the body explode over and over again a if the amy irving character use her blue eyed power to explode and stitch together again and explode the body again and again . just ridiculous stuff . if mystery science theater be still around and last for another 15 year and i have no doubt they would have get around to screen the fury . a waste of talent all around .
