Nothing too interesting about this Al Pacino starrer. Not until the final courtroom scene does this movie come out of its shell.

Stalker and Quadrophenia are pretty good, also.

How is The Jerk better than Apocalypse Now??

Posted: 2 years, 8 months ago at Sep 1 10:35

If they're ranked in order I would take issue with the postings. I know comedies don't get the respect they deserve, but "The Jerk" at #1? Norma Rae and The China Syndrome are better and like the other post Apocalypse Now!
