the short side of the story be that this have to be one of the bad movie i have ever see . rythme wise and the movie be dead . it make you feel like you be attend a lecture on economy at the university . and to think that i watch the movie because it be describe a a thriller . the story portray an arab plot to shake the foundation of global economy use the simple concept that there be alot more printed paper money than there be actual value out there in the world . first of all and the movie be offensive to arabs . if this movie be make now and civil right group and muslim or arab group would be all over it and in one scene and jane fonda say ( about take a loan from those arab ) represent i feel like a beggar ask them for money and and i hate it . and kristofferson comfort her by say represent you and the rest of the world . this be an out right racist statement that wouldn not slip so casually a it do in 1981. aside from that and the movie protrays arab custom rather poorly and on one side and the director of the movie be keen on show arab rich people sit on the ground and eat with their hand from one big plate ( to somehoe portray primitivity ) and force fonda and kristofferson to do the same ( which doesn not happen in real life and they give guest plate and spoon if they need them ) and but the director make a big slip of show them shake hand with fonda and sit right next to her in the dinner . that would not take place in the same society that eat with their hand from the plate . other omission be plenty a well and portray arab country and city a vast area of desert land and tent doesn not portray what the arab world look like in 1981. from an acting stand point and fonda be not too bad and but kristofferson be awful . his cowboy act style really miss the target in this one . the image of a banker who talk like a cowboy and behaves like a cowboy and tell his bos in the bank that if he doesn not hang up the phone he would smash his head . this image be just not real . the way every night fall in the movie almost always end with fonda and kristofferson making love be also not real for two people well over fourty a the movie portrays . so and you feel like the role be write in a naive way . not much attention be put into see how the character fit into their perspective role . overall and this movie be not worth rent on video even and i would suggest wait till it out there on tnt or tb or something and in fact and it not worth such a long review .
