100Nolte's gambler-bandit Bob Montagnet is a triumph of imagination, touched with electric existential poetry.
-
80Bob is a marvelous creation--a faker who is also the genuine article. He’s the perfect hero for a movie about the world as one big scam.
-
60Nolte looks like a man with one foot in the grave and nothing to lose. He single-handedly rescues this caper flick from its own mediocre storyline.
-
