I was fairly determined to make it through the film as I sort of found the performance of James Coburn to be endearing and the laid back look and feel of the production to be pleasing in a way few modern films can be.
What killed my determination to stay with it was the succession of coincidences that pushed the journey to discovery. This is always lazy writing , whether in a novel or screenplay. Unlike othes I did not know exactly what had happened but as I watched the production I was insulted to be asked to believe Coburn's good fortune in ghetting bits of information. The result was, I came just not to care much what happend.
