Title: Absorbing to watch, quite poignant at times
Product review: It's a touch too long - the movie, that is, not the appendage that made Dirk Diggler famous - but this is a still a movie that keeps your attention throughout. The characters are very realistically drawn and - like those horrid clothes and hairstyles! - evoke the atmosphere of the 1970s extremely well. It is in no way a voyeuristic movie. The measure of its success is that the viewer is compelled to sympathise with poor Dirk. This is also Burt Reynolds' best movie since Deliverance.
