It’s not a masterpiece of a movie and logic is noticeably lacking in places, but it will do for an enjoyable, relaxing watch. The story doesn't really require you to use your imagination, it’s simple and predictable, but despite all these nitpicks, I wasn't dissatisfied. All the flaws are more tolerable thanks to the casting of the two leads. Paul Newman was a superb actor and this film is no exception. His scenes had a completely different charge; not even a German comedy from the 80s could drown out his charisma. And Linda Fiorentino... I’ve always been a fan of hers. Apart from being a good actress, she is a very, very attractive human being. I mean, actresses like Angelina Jolie are way overrated compared to her. / Lesson learned: Don't throw in the towel. Have you ended up in a wheelchair? Get some high-performance tires.
