Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Scott as an ageing Chicago gangster, once an ace wheelman for the syndicate who, with wife run off and child dead, comes out of morose retirement (in Portugal) to do one last job and prove to himself, etc etc. Huston and Boorman both opted out of directing, not surprisingly given the sententiously overstated script, which is always laboriously explaining things you've already guessed for yourself. But the action sequences are fine, so is Scott, and Sven Nykvist's camera-work is great.Author: TM
