"Please God, don't let him get caught."

Le film de Looser ultime des années 70 - Gladiator

Plus que L'Epouvantail ou Junnio Bonner : c'est une réussite totale. Dustin Hoffmann (impressionnant et bien dégouté de l'Amérique et des rêves chimériques du pays de l'oncle SAM). Stenton, Busey et la petite Theresa sont formidables aussi. Amateurs de cols pelles à tarte et moustache énorme made in 70 = ce film est pour vous. Un trés beau film. Un must des années 70. P.S : le film devait être le 1er d'Hoffmann. Il réalisa un trés grand nombre de scènes : c'est dire l'implication de la star.

The straight goods - CaptainDave

Here is a terrific, unjustly neglected film, starring Dustin Hoffman, of all people. It's hard to imagine a Hoffman film gathering dust instead of being viewed.

The story of a small-time crook, played by Hoffman, is excellently written, probably because the screenplay and the book it was based on were written by a con. No exaggeration or melodrama here, what we get is probably as close to the real thing as Hollywood can get. The script, acting and excellently-observed direction all unfold with a sense of total veracity.

As well as Hoffman, the other great performance here is by M. Emmet Walsh as the sadistic parole officer whose bullying finally breaks Hoffman and pushes him back into crime. Walsh's smarm makes you squirm every second he's on screen.

The only weak performance is from Teresa Russell, as the young girl Hoffman gets involved with. Granted that she's supposed to be a naif, she doesn't hold her own playing against Hoffman.

Locked Up - dee4

"Straight Time" has all but vanished from the canon of great films, which is unfortunate because it's a masterpiece of crime drama;a brilliantly executed movie.

Hoffman's performance is captivating and is truly an oscar worthy turn. I've never seen him this good.

For some reason this film was sentenced to anonymity.
So spread the word on the whisper stream and give it the cult status it deserves.
