sez says: Are we responsible for the product of our labor--after we have done our task, does it matter who does what with it next? That is the question that Hackman's character struggles with. He knows that in the past someone was killed because of the information he gathered and handed over to the party who paid him to get the information, Is it about to happen again? Woven into that question is the "what is happening here' mystery of the movie. The two elements work very well. And the grey plastic rain coat that Hackman seems to never take off--is a winner (Grade B)
