I remembered this film when I was a kid and loved it.
Does it still match up to my memories? Yes and no but in the end I'll say yes.
Okay lets start positive:
The cast is great, Alan Alda and a cast of veteran actors making the most they can of the material available.
The plot is different and interesting at first you think its just a serial killer on a spree but there is a sanity to the killers insanity.
The negative:
Who wrote the dialog? its crap!
I said the cast made the most of the material they had and man its a good thing they knew their job because the script writer sure didnt.
The actors are all saying what they are doing before or as they do it, who the hell does that?
The cast & plot are great but the screenplay's dialog drags this film down to only a good film.
