I myself only saw this movie for the first time about a month ago (thanks Netflix!); I thought it might be old or out of date, I thought that perhaps I'd seen all of these types of scenes in other movies and that seeing their originating movie would be a let down...but that was not the case at all! Steve, your review captures the feeling I had when I saw it. The paragraph you had: "...makes you feel Doyle’s frostbite as he waits for the villain (Rey as “Frog One”) to finish his dinner at a swanky Manhattan restaurant." captures it dead on, you 'feel' like your in the movie! Great film, your review really speaks to why it is a true classic, but as fresh as the day it was made. Thank you for another great review! --Tom A great review.
