Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Chief B Such a great movie. And it's what's really happened supposedly. I can't remember a movie that I can compare with this one in it's style and atmosphere. Hutton is great in it as the falcon walking around with falcons and eagles on his arm feeding pigeons to them being an idealist and a free soul in a way. Wearing jacket with the Indian print on it. Penn is also great and plays the sleaze ball who brings everybody in trouble pretty good. I don't wanna sound cliche but I think it's underrated and am glad rotten gave this the score it deserves. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Michael R Exciting 80s movie that still holds up very well. Hutton is fantastic, and so is Penn when he used to care about being a serious actor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Tic Toc M Not bad, and interesting true story. One keeps seeing the same term used about this film: dated. Pat Metheny's score goes a long way in making it feel that way. This movie could be improved just by putting a new score on it. Luckily there's not much of it past the first fifteen minutes. The movie really starts coming together 20 minutes in, when Hutton's story (and path) becomes clear. Sean Penn is excellent, fans of his "Carlito's Way" performance might want to check this out. Even at the time, it felt like he was consciously building his acting reputation (definitely De Niro was a huge influence, specifically the King Of Comedy performance). Timothy Hutton is ok, kinda bland and serviceable, not able to surpass his "Ordinary People" performance, but this is the second movie I'd tell someone to watch, if they wanted to check out his work. (Actually "Taps" would probably be it, which also includes Sean Penn and a young Tom Cruise, one of HIS best performances). Darian Harewood, whom many will know from "Full Metal Jacket", has a good role in this. Lori Singer has virtually nothing to do throughout the movie, they obviously expended not one scintilla of energy on her character or the "love story" that ends up completely dead weight. Some other good performances: Richard Dysart definitely comes to mind. John Schlesinger does a solid job. The story definitely keeps you watching.
