Rolling Thunder

A bit dull truth be told

Finally got around to watching this one of Tarantino's recommendations and found it quite worthwhile. It's not especially fast paced but everything feels like it had a purpose for being there. The action is very much of it's time so you need to watch it with that view. Tommy Lee Jones is young and still handsome, as he aged his good looks faded and were replaced by character that serves him well. William Devane's voice occasionally sounds a little like Jack Nicholson but I think he look probably limited him a little. With a slightly different face he might have been a much bigger star.Linda Haynes was great as Linda Forchet who wasn't just a pretty face. As a character Linda was complex and her dysfunctional personality really served Charles Rane's story well and allowed him to convey much of what was going on in his head with spares well measured dialogue as much as he did through what he didn't say.
