...faster. Penn has a better way of conveying the mishmash moral atmosphere of Night Moves than Sharp's riddling. The director hasn't done anything except a quick segment of the Olympics in Visions of Eight since the days of Little Big Man, Alice's Restaurant and Bonnie and Clyde, and here he's much more easy going.

Though he founded his own aircraft firm and briefly ran Lockheed Aircraft Corp., his heart belonged to the drawing board; there he conceived such notable planes as the PT-17, the agile, open-cockpit trainer, known to thousands of World War II pilots as "the Yellow Peril," and continued...
