Started this series before I had a kid, finished watching it holding him. I'm actually exactly like this dude now.
These were all so fun and breezy, I could watch a million more LW&C movies.
Wish criterion had the not-butchered cut with the goofy intertitles and shit but I'm glad I finally got to see this anyway
I kept seeing the word "unsentimental" when reading about this, and I get the meaning behind employing the word, but when sad-eyed Robert Mitchum in the tail end of his career is your lead, your fuckin movie isn't unsentimental and what's more I don't think you're going for that, either. Still, immaculately constructed, everything plays out in front of the camera, there is no wizard of oz voice planting meaning, motivation or feeling into your brain, and the movie ends as matter of factly as it begins. Turns out friendship doesn't count for much in mercenary worlds! Anyway, I really dug this, great little procedural.
can't wait to watch this again and cherish it forever. really just like a full on classic that felt, even while i was watching it, like it's always been here. i may not be very critically removed right now but i have a strong sense this is gonna hold up in revisits. amazing.
