Couldn't agree more. This was the film that convinced me that Harry Dean Stanton is our greatest living character actor. And isn't that actor Sandy Baron who takes a beating from Hoffman? He played Jack Klumpus on "Seinfeld."
One of the great strengths about this film is that Max's characters is very self-righteous with his strong sense of what is ethical or not yet he violates society's ethical codes without any compunction....complex, paradoxical and as a result his character has real dramatic depth and credibility. Great script and great acting.
THIS IS HOFFMAN AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS FAME AND CAREER GREAT AND A UNDERRATED FILM ONE OF THE BEST FILMS. OF 1970S AND YOU KNOW WHAT DUSTIN HOFFMAN'S NEXT FILM WAS ? IT IS PROBABLY HIS BEST FILM
Wow.....what an amazing film,saw it in '78 when it was first released. Went back the following week and saw it again.

Agree. HDS is my favorite actor, period. Love this scene from a tremendously underrated film.
He is, or should say was, superb, definitively. I also adore Joe Pantoliano.
Yes that's sandy baron
Uncle Leo's actor came out in the Outlaw Joesy Wales.....got blasted .....Got the gold Paw...BoooM!.
Klampus got fuckin' socked a few.....where's that NASA pen?
Masterfully acted by both Hoffman and Stanton.
One great actor with one of the greatest character actors What a scene
Harry stanton .what a terrific actor .COOL HAND LUKE
The best movie of the 70's!
I don't know about that, but it is very good and criminally unknown and underrated.
HDS, my favorite actor ever. He's just so *natural* onscreen, he stole this great film.

As Dylan once sang: "To live outside the law you must be honest"
He was late cuz he ratted out Morty for scamming the Del Boca Vista condo board.
