Good cast, Colin Friels, Sean Connery, John Lithgow, Diana Rigg (died September 10), Louis Gossett Jr, Joanne Whalley, Sarah-Jane Fenton, Maynard Aziashi.
I heard Will talking in a Q&A that Bruce 'lost his nerve' when directing, and some of the humour, which was written to be delivered straight and dry, was somehow directed in some scenes in a too broadly comic style, leading to a feeling that the tone of the film shifted about awkwardly. I suppose that's evident for example in the scene where he sets fire to the car and the resulting explosion blows him into the air, which seems entirely unnatural... I guess he's right, if you contrast that with the terror of being pursued by an angry mob, or the death of the doctor.
Could it be that the ambitious politician Adekunle (Gossett) has deliberately set up his wife to sleep with Leafy so he can ambush him? I think so, but is she complicit too?
