| | One of Lee Marvin's Best | moviewatch 11/07/2010 | | Lee Marvin is every bit as compulsive as Tommy Lee Jones in tracking down his man and a lot more interesting as he does so. It's the end of the old days and told with compelling vignettes. Angie Dickinson is past her prime just as everyone in the movie, only Lee seems to know and doesn't really care. |
