Highlights:
- The perspectives that the two prime characters offer & the Scarecrow example to elucidate the two view points was impressive and the director/writer duo deserve praise for that.
- Al Pacino, as the fun-loving son-searching optimist, rocks in his feel-good role and brings out a bucket of enthusiasm to the proceedings.
- Gene Hackman, as the sturdy short-tempered & confident guy, shows the veteran that he is & it's a joy to watch the two share screen space.
- Some of the scenes were particularly gripping - the scenes at the bar, the one with the gay & the final climax at the fountain!
