In homage to Brian Dennehy and his recent passing, I wanted to revisit GP, having seen it upon its initial release decades ago. I recall being intrigued by the film's unpredictable plot twists.
However, such was not the case today. I could not get past William Hurt's unconvincing Russian accent. It was inconsistent and distracting and ruined my second (and last) viewing. I cannot recall why I liked the film so much the first time. But, I did appreciate BD (thankfully he played an American) and it was the only reason I finished the film. God bless you and Rest In Peace, Mr. Dennehy. Sorry, Mr. Hurt, I AM a fan of most of your other films though!
