Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The Last Detail is one superbly funny, uproariously intelligent performance, plus two others that are very, very good, which are so effectively surrounded by profound bleakness that it seems to be a new kind of anti-comedy.

rotten:
One can't help feeling that the criticism of modern America hits out at all too easy targets in a vague and muffled manner.

fresh:
Salty, bawdy, hilarious and very touching.

fresh:
A tough-talking, sparely directed effort by Hal Ashby, with an immaculate performance by Jack Nicholson.

fresh:
Nicholson's cigar-chomping, profanity-spouting grunt is one of the greatest incarnations of stunted machismo onscreen, and he's brilliantly complemented by Quaid's picture-perfect awkwardness and Young's bracing cynicism.
