The old campaigner must catch the slick...
...Faye Dunaway) is never integrated into the manhunt story, and Dunaway is wasted in a role that keeps her flat on her back. Mostly, she is forgotten as the gumshoe and the hobnail boots approach each other for the climactic confrontation. But Delaney is never in real danger: when Blank is finally cornered, he starts to cry. The resourceful villain becomes a whining victim. The dark alley, which promised delicious thrills, is a narrative dead...
