The plot has gaping holes...The script is only a bit more developed than an outline, but the performances are completely top shelf. 1975 is on exquisitely dysfunctional display - bad hair, polyester, middle-age with city miles - and it works. If there was ever a Franz Kafka gumshoe story, Night Moves is it. Wanna know why Gene Hackman has two statues? The confrontation scene between Harry (Gene Hackman) and Marty (Harris Yullin) at their first meeting will answer that. Restrained and brooding, it's perhaps his most-sublimely brilliant 5 minutes on film.
