I always enjoy watching great actors like Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas do their stuff on the big screen. And I have to say, Kirk is in great shape for his age (or any age). But Burt looked a bit fragile to me, as he was obviously getting too old for tough guy films. He should have quit while he was ahead in Atlantic City. The script is pretty silly, and not the least bit believable. Durning was pretty good, and Eli Wallach gives it the old college try, but the script and storyline are just so weak, even these four great professionals couldnt save it. Dana Garvey is miscast as the parole officer, and the rest of the cast are merely stereotypes. A bit sad to watch, but also entertaining at times, as well.
