No. Not that he wasn't terrific in the movie, but I think the
movie is much better than its reputation. And I'm saying that
as someone who thinks every other film that Peter Hyams made
is craptastic. Scheider helped it a lot, but I don't think he
carried it alone by a long shot. Helen Mirren, John Lithgow,
and Elya Baskin also helped a great deal. If anything, I think
Mirren outshone everyone else in the film, Scheider included.
