Colin the dude’s review:
Far too underseen. I'll need to see this again now after a revealing and haunting ending. I'm sure I'll like it more. A round of applause for Mr. Lumet for having so many great films to seek out.
Such a powerful film. Easily Connery's best performance I've ever seen.
I agree, Dirk. He was totally enagaging in this role. It's one of his few performances that didn't make me think I was simply watching Sean Connery being Sean Connery (if that makes sense).
Yep its Connery with depth and mystery, something he's usually lacking.
