In the version I just watched, virtually nothing happened until the last 15 minutes of the movie (and even then, what did happen seemed to involve a different character than the one that would have been consistent with the first part of the movie).
Yes, Gene Hackman was good, as always. It was fun to see a younger James Wood and an unrecognizable 17-18 year old Melanie Griffith.
But the movie was way too slow moving to hold my interest. I only finished it because Gene was in it and I wanted to see what happened to Melanie's character.
It felt like a low-budget TV movie, which was particularly odd as Gene was coming off 3 Oscar nominations (with one win) at the time.
