  I agree, Sheen's wide eyed frailty gave the film greater character contrast - he was easily manipulated like a cork in a tempest so the mission/journey itself became the film's drive.

  I saw that at a Drive-In in Apotos ,CA in 1993 when it was in its first run.. Maybe why I have a liking of it now..

    Apparently it has not left a lasting impression. Was he good there?

      ... one of my favorite films, and one even appropriate for the Holidays that doesn't smack of tinsel. Ashley Judd does a fantastic white trash cameo in "Smoke".

      • Agreed, Smoke is one of Keitel's best, but I don't like Ashley Judd or Hurt for that matter - Jazz Inmate 10:00:12 04/11/11 (0)

        Others in Smoke were far better. This was one of the 4 Keitel films in the early 90s that helped reeastablish his career, along with The Piano, Reservoir Dogs and Bad Lieutenant.

      I think one of Connery's last decent appearances. He's a Nipophile anyway so he was in his element. Ray Wise plays his typical creep.. Like I said maybe the impression of the Big Screen at the drive-in has some influence in my recollection but Harvey has some funny lines as the as the ethically/socially compromised Cop. Good Tyco Drums sequence.
