..excessive but I love it.
Paul Shenar is the name. His was the coolest portrayal in the film, amongst all the heat elsewhere. I remember the relative admiration one could have - I had - for his "noble" badman character.
Given your thoughts about The Godfather, for example, I wonder how you feel about this film, which really contributed to an understanding of the drug culture/problem for the American popular perspective, in spite of its polished ugliness. And it did show the comeuppence crooks should rightfully receive.
What are the "proper" elements for a worthy crime/war/sex film? Aside from qualitative technical and artistic considerations what makes one acceptable, so to speak, and another not? How can a glamorous film be made about violent ugliness?
