Title: Unlikable Lead
Product review: Maybe i am being naive here, but shouldn't the lead in a film generate some likability to the audience; otherwise why would you spend two hours with him. Everytime i thought that there was going to be a little spark of warmth or humanity in the lead character, he goes back to being the one-dimensional tough guy. When towards the end, when the lead (James Caan) is sending his wife (Tuesday Welds) away with their adopted baby son that they have, he gives her $410,000 dollars to take with her. Then I started thinking, well here is his human caring side.Nope, not to be, he then goes ahead and instructs his wife, who he is kicking out, that she has to pay the guy he is sending to be her driver on this journey $20,000 on the first month, $25,000 on the second month, $30.000 on the third month, etc. How long is $410,000 going to last if she has to keep paying this guy incrementally larger amounts?That's when I said, "Forget this guy, he's damaged goods."
