Plenty of enjoyable rucks between Fonda and suited heavies, a drawn out early death scene for poor old Scott Glenn and a bizarrely speeded up few frames of film with Fonda and son on a bike (think "Easy Rider" meets Benny Hill) make this one watchable. Don't think I can argue its superiority over Demne's later "Silence of The Lambs" though!
