So Brian DePalma and Robert DeNiro. It couldn't be that bad. But it is. If I'm going to be true to the many other films I've written about, I have to honestly rate this as I did. Apparently, people see this as satire. If satire is to work, it has to have a reverence for the original. I don't think there is an original, other than the time period. It is just a hodgepodge of events with no center to hold it together. I suppose it gave DePalma an opportunity to practice his craft. But the great Robert D. I read somewhere that when released, this was rated X. Wow, have times changed. There certainly nude scenes with flabby people and suggestive statements.
