Resident IMDB film aesthete "tedg" has kindly provided for us once again the only review here worth reading (it's somewhere in the middle of the some 60 or so reviews written so far, and worth a look).
I wanted to note the trouble over the "muddled" dialogue (Nolte talks under his breath most of the film). A stylistic move -- keeps you on your toes, and the nuggets you do grab are all the more pleasing (I caught about 90% of what was said). You just have to pay attention, and it's worth it. The dialogue is a lot of fun.
Great movie. The craft at its best.
