What keeps this movie from being a "9" in my book? Well, it is not the story. It is not the acting or the cast. It is too many houses burning down, when all we needed to see was a couple: a couple of houses burning, maybe one or two acts of viloence--we would have gotten the picture, and maybe the movie could have been trimmed down to about an hour and forty-five minutes. Believe me, I love a good move that can just take you in and you don't care how long it is. It is just too bad that this one keeps its length in repetition, and not solid content. Please don't get me wrong, however, the movie is rather brilliant, and Gene Hackman is perfect as always; therefore, I will give it a solid 8.2
