The First Deadly Sin

Rating:
Summary: Greatly underrated film
Review: Those who choose to review don't seem to "get" this film. Sinatra is able to portray the character of a realistically strong, dedicated, and loving man. He is one of the few actors who could pull it off. Sinatra is both believable and fascinating in his role as an exceptional police investigator with a palpable off-beat manliness who maintains his allegiance to his chosen duty while suffering the great tradgedy of his own personal life.

Summary: Great to see Frank one final time.....
Review: While it is wonderful to see Sinatra in his final motion picture, the film could have been much better. It has fleeting moments of strength and interest, but all in all, it appears flat and tired. Those audiences used to thrillers like The Manchurian Candidate, Suddenly, Man With the Golden Arm, or even today's entries such as SEVEN, will find this film slow and boring. Of course, Sinatra fans will find it worthwhile nevertheless, and it is in this aspect that I recommend it.
