Indeed, the vagueness of The Revolutionary carries into the fuzzy thinking of Dealing; and the clean lines of the former film have given way to the empty frames of the latter. Details--like the overhead roar of a jet--are conspicuous by the absence of a fully developed mise-en-scene. Continuity is confusing (the New England snows are there one scene, gone the next); interiors look pop-art phoney (in particular, the South Station gambit). And when the crooked cop reads a short note that Peter has sent him, the words are on screen so long you've time...
...politicians campaigned through the wintry countryside preparing for last week's parliamentary elections, farmers gave one candidate the cold shoulder by drowning out his voice beneath the roar of their tractor engines. With 75% of the country's three million voters going to the polls, the election proved to be a tempest in an ice bucket.

They bash up an old drunk who lies singing in a tunnel. They bloody Billyboy and his gang. They steal a Durango-95 and roar out into the countryside, running cars and pedestrians off the road. They pay "the old surprise visit" to a quiet home, force their way in, tie and gag the man of the house and rape his wife. Then, all feeling "a bit shagged and fagged and fashed," they retire once again to the Korova. After all, as Alex says, it has been "an evening of some small energy expenditures...
