Text: The film, directed by Steven Soderbergh, would be worth seeing just for Stamp's performance, at once rock-hard and goofily blinkered, and for Peter Fonda's wittily self-parodic turn as the suspected killer, a music producer who coasts on '60s counterculture easiness while his lackeys do the dirty work.
Entailment: It's worth watching the film just for the sake of Stamp's performance.
Contradiction: Stamp's performance in Steven Soderbergh's film was deplorable and forgettable.
