One That Everyone Missed, 24 February 2006
9/10
Author: rayarpt from East Haven, CT

I caught this movie in the theater when it came out. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire movie. At the end I jumped up yelling "No, No, it can't end like this". I was not alone at being dumbstruck at the ending. With all the junk on video/DVD this movie deserves to be available on VHS/DVD. The character played by George Kennedy was almost crazed in his desire to provide money for his family after he died. No matter what he had to do, up to capital punishment, was not outside his moves. When it became apparent that he wasn't dying from a brain tumor, and all he could hope for was the reward money and his execution, his actions to prove his innocence appeared to suggest failure and success. The ending will knock the viewer silly.
