The Only Reason for a Dean Martin Fan to seek out this Unremarkable Movie is to See Dino in His Last Starring Role in a Major Motion Picture. Dean, as well as the Film itself, is not a Pretty Picture.
Gone is the Playful Playboy, Gone is the Charming Boozer, Gone is the Suave Aloofness of His Persona that was a Schict He Employed for most of His Career, Gone is the sometimes Very Effective Dramatic Actor, Gone Baby Gone, as witnessed here, is Dean Martin.
The Movie is a Bland, Boring, Turgid Story of a Lawyer and Defender of the Underdog that is Never Quite Fleshed Out. It's a Clunky Film with a TV Look and at times is Unprofessionally Acted, Shot, and Edited.
There is a Twist Ending that Falls Flat as is most of the Movie and the Characters within. Humorous Scenes Bomb, the Mystery is Muddled, the Action is Pedestrian, and none of it is the Least Bit Intriguing. This Thing can be Summed UP in One Word......Tired.
A Film Best Forgotten and Ignored, because there is Nothing to See Here that is the Least Bit Pleasant and Borderline Embarrassing for Anyone Involved in the Production.
