I like Paul Newman as an actor and tend to like his movies. I recorded "The Drowning Pool" to see a great actor in a good film. I was disappointed.
I was immediately greeted with a series of poorly directed and poorly edited scenes. Had this been my first exposure to Paul Newman, I might have thought he was a poor actor. That's how bad the direction was.
The writing couldn't save this either. The plot sounding interesting enough to watch the movie, but much of the writing was stilted and dated.
More than anything, "The Drowning Pool" proves that good actors make bad movies. Do yourself a favor. Stay away from this dog and watch "The Sting" for the 101st time.
