including the original French-language version of Quick Change
Is Hold-Up worth seeing? I've had it in my queue for a while but can't imagine it holding up to Quick Change

I had no idea it was a remake! Great cast in it at any rate

Let It Ride would be cool
God, I love that film so much. Unbelievable performances from Dreyfuss and Garr
This was fun, thanks primarily to Dreyfuss' go-for-broke perf (handily one of his best) and a rather audacious premise followed through to the end without compromise. You have to respect a film that demands you leave your expectations for a morality tale at the door and never wilts on that agenda!

I watched it again after seeing the uptick in discussion here, and mostly stand by what I wrote but I wouldn’t be hurt if Kino or someone else put it out either. The movie was a bomb but under what steam it was made at all really puts in perspective how things have changed.
