It's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're a big Nicholson fan. It's not as good as Five Easy Pieces or Chinatown, for sure -- but, I'd still say it's underrated.

I really don't like this character at all. I find him obnoxious and self-serving, which is, I guess, the point. Nevertheless, I'd probably watch that movie just to see how it was done. Maybe a fuller...
