I do not understand why the movies cannot handle Donald Westlake's comic writing. They miscast them, based on who is hot. They cut out the scenes tat might be cinematically interesting. They miss the points of all the jokes and don't understand the characters. Only when Westlake does the script -- as in THE GRIFTERS or HOT STUFF -- does the point come through. Give this a miss.
