A "Safe" Bet!
Not a bad little thriller by John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy). It's a tad dated (it came out in 1976), but Dustin Hoffman & Laurence Olivier do good jobs in their respective roles. I thought Roy Scheider would have a larger role since he is third billed, but his hotel room scene was great. The "Is it safe" scene is a classic, although I personally would have liked to see even more tension, as the scene right before it had me rapt. I definitely need to see some older Hoffman films as I've watched The Graduate & Midnight Cowboy in recent months.
