I agree that he had more to offer than is sometimes apparent in many of his roles--it's always fun to see that talent emerge.

I particularly liked your description of some of the action as “come to Jesus” scenes. I also think this film has a great performance from Alan and did indeed allow him to break away somewhat from his set screen persona. I wish he’d been given the opportunity to do so more. <br />Thanks so much for contributing to my Blogathon 🤠 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369037629844090449.post-51320166818449611312019-09-04T07:59:16.039-07:002019-09-04T07:59:16.039-07:00You're welcome.
