With a manic nod to Vertigo, Brian de Palma even borrows frequent Hitchcock composer Bernard Hermann. With a screenplay from Paul Schrader, the movie was bound to be a hit. So what went wrong? Or maybe what went right?
The ending was more impressive than I was expecting, but it was still a bit of an eyeroll. Still, Brian de Palma succeeds in what he set out to do: make a pretty decent film. It was cheesy in that seventies way, but all in all it could have been a lot worse. I am intrigued to see more movies with Academy Award winning actor, Cliff Robertson.
