I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since Iโm a big fan of Clint Eastwood, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, basically, just after he reached fame with the dollar trilogy, Clint Eastwod starred in this flick which would be his first collaboration with Don Siegel. To be honest, when you think about it for a moment, the story was in fact nothing really amazing. I mean, it was about Coogan going to New York and spending the rest of the movie tracking down some guy, that's it. I still enjoyed the damned thing, above all thanks to Clint Eastwood's performance. Indeed, as usual, the guy was just completely charismatic and even though his character seemed rather out of place, he always seemed to have everything under control, even though a couple of times, the odds didn't really look good for him. After this, Siegel and Eastwood will make a few more movies (including 'Dirty Harry') and you can see that right from the start that they worked really well together. To conclude, even though it was nothing really ground-breaking, it was still a nice watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in watching some good old movie starring the great Clint Eastwood.
