You know what this movie gets wrong? The opening credits. They’re sometimes difficult to read, and not particularly a good fit for the rest of the movie, stylistically or creatively. That’s it. The rest is perfect, a masterpiece of the cinematic art of action and adventure. Beyond that, there is little more to say; the thing speaks for itself. No wonder this is a Best of All inductee and ranks No. 2 on this author's all-time Top Ten list. If you are one of the few people on earth who has not yet seen this flick, then set aside a couple of hours and watch one of the finest works in all of filmdom.
