Richard Dreyfus is one of my favorite actors, and this is one of his best performances. Playing Moses Wine -- a 60s radical turned private detective -- was clearly a labor of love for Dreyfus, and this film gives him numerous opportunities to demonstrate why he has long been one of our most charismatic screen performers.
He's a divorced dad trying to deal with an ex-wife who has taken up with an EST-style seminar leader...he's a former Berkeley war protester (in one of the film's best scenes, he tears up when he watches some old newsreel footage of a Vietnam protest in progress) who still enjoys the occasional bong hit...and he finds himself in the middle of a complicated psuedo-political bomb plot involving a Latino labor leader (obviously patterned after Cesar Chavez).
Dreyfus headlines a great cast, including: F. Murray Abraham, John Lithgow, and Susan Anspach.
