Not since 'Crime Story' has Farina had a role that is his equal!

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2001)

There is no doubt that Farina's 'coolness' is an attractive quality but it is his ability to communicate passion and depth of character in combination with humor that makes him worth watching. As with so many roles that he has played, his contribution to this movie was limited by a dimensionless character. When will he be allowed to bring his special brand of warmth and toughness to the screen? He did that week after week in 'Crime Story' so that leads me to believe it's the writing and directing. Think what he could do for example, if he were to play a man left with the job of raising a hot-headed 14 year-old grandson! I'll keep the faith. It's bound to happen soon or later.
