Starts with a good premise and Martin Landau in the first scene. Pretty soon Eli Wallach shows up. Bit later Robert DeNiro. Things are rolling along nicely when I realize Robert Wuhl, who irritates me at the best of times, was shouting his way through the movie. And then Laurie Metcalf shows up. Is she really this bad an actor or is it just a bad director working with no budget? It's all downhill from there. I just didn't care anymore. Didn't care about Wuhl's character. And why would I care about Christopher Walken's ''Warren'' character? And who is the kid's dad supposed to be? Elmore Leonard? Yelling, yelling, yelling. So tiresome. I bet this movie didn't gross a thousand bucks when it was released.
