Who?

When buying my first 16mm print, I didn't think twice about the name, but, it's actually kind of a pain to do an Abbott and Costello routine whenever I tell somebody about the movie.

Anyways, watched the movie tonight, and it was pretty good. A little different than I was expecting, but the magic of showing film in your own place just helps anything. An incredible performance by Elliot Gould doesn't hurt either.

Gould plays a CIA agent who has to determine if this half-man/half-robot is really a scientist who was in a car accident, or a secret Russian spy sent by his arch nemesis in a ploy to destroy some secret plan. Gould doesn't let up on the guy, just giving him a hard time at every turn, not giving him an inch of wiggle room.

Some sweet lines, flashbacks in first-person, and a pretty well-done character study.

It's not exactly the film I thought I was getting, but I'm thrilled with it.
