Sorry, Hoffman is bad here--and he's been weak for years. There is no one here who is a greater admirer of his best work--Midnight Cowboy, Lenny, Marathon Man, The Graduate, Straw Dogs and several others. But that is ancient history. I think the last thing I saw him in that I'd watch again was American Buffalo, and that is no great shakes.

PS: If you want to the greatest portrayal of real world criminality I've ever seen on screen, check out one of his more obscure films, Straight Time (1978). It's not a great film, but he is great in it.

Wag the Dog was solid.

Same timeframe, mid-90s I think. After that....

On PTI just now, during there commercial cut ins, Kornheiser just said "at the risk of sounding very very stupid, Luck might be the greatest show ever made"

Great film! He was very funny in that, in my opinion.
