Cut The Crap Movie Reviews by Aiden R100(full review)
Jim Carrier97 - Possibly the crown jewel for one of the all-time great actors. Paul Newman was brilliant in this movie. There's no way that anyone should try to remake this. It would fall short by a long shot, even if you found the perfect person to play
