Jon S @jonchristopher May 1 As a Los Angeles insurance investigator with a brain tumor (but unwilling to undergo the necessary laser surgery), George Kennedy bustles through this overwrought crime melodrama like an overage Boy Scout. He proceeds to implicate himself in a year-old unsolved murder, which would allow spouse Anne Jackson to collect on the reward money; of course, the surgery becomes imperative--thereby leaving Kennedy a healthy, innocent man convicted of first-degree murder! Despite variable camerawork and a somewhat confusing past-and-present style, this is a well-made picture with a solid cast. John T. Kelley's screenplay changes gears in the final third (becoming standard cops-and-robbers stuff), releasing all the pent-up hot air within this scenario. Kelley not only leaves questions unanswered, he also makes the local police force look bad and the criminal justice system appear inept (which may have been his intention). See more Read all reviews
