Grit

Today's movie was James Toback's

Fingers (1978)

with Harvey Keitel.

I watched this because it is the film from which The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005) (see August 11, 2007).

The stories are the same but the Koback piece is far rougher and tougher. Primal.

Keitel is less convincing in his role but he is pretty good.

There is less story line in the original but that is to be expected.

I liked it and was not at all bored having 'seen it all before'.

I know it is rude to mention but I have a record to keep here. Keitel does get naked. He does it in every picture.

If you got it, flaunt it.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.

Average on the new curve marking system.
