...film opens with the murder of Page Forrester (Maria Mayenzet), a rich socialite whose death transfers untold amounts of money and power to her husband Jack (Jeff Bridges.) Cynical readers, at this point, will immediately infer that Jack must have killed his wife.

Rick Miller and Kevin Looney are adequate ends, and junior Jeff Heineman is a mammoth right tackle. An average unit. LINEBACKERS: The defense's strong point. Captain Brent Wilkinson leads this group, with returnees Scott Collins and Larry Bean providing strong support. Wilkinson was a madman a week ago, shutting down a strong UMass attack. He'll need to equal...
