Three "Never heard of it" movies that I enjoyed
Busting Elliot Gould and Robert Blake as two vice cops trying to nail Mr. Big, despite no support,and occasional inteference from their superiors.Excellent action scenes and a chase finale involving two ambulances!Kind of a comedy-drama version of
Serpico.
The Silent Partner Elliot Gould (again) plays a bank teller trying to outwit a vicious bank robber after Gould helps himself to some of the robbers heist money.You'll never look at a tropical fish tank the same way again.
Charley Varrick Walter Matthau (at his drollest) is a New Mexico crop duster who robs banks on the side.Until he robs one that the Mob uses to launder money.No Elliot Gould though.
Great performances in good, or even not so good movies.
Jack Nicholson in
The Last Detail..The definitive Nicholson IMHO.
Sissy Spacek in
Carrie.Poignant look at a teenage misfit,amidst all the gore and blood.
Jeff Bridges in
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. The ultimate free spirit in a clever heist movie.
