While this is a really good film, we don't spend an hour worshipping the ground on which it stands. It's a bit long, and nail that gritty look it was trying so desperately to achieve. However, it is about the most alpha male old school cool as it gets. Watching this again makes me realize what an incredible gem Paul Newman was to Hollywood. Also famous funny man Jackie Gleeson takes on a most serious role, and totally hits his mark. We found some pretty fascinating stories attached to this film, and we'd like to tell you about them. Won't you listen? Thanks for listening.
