...very first shot--of Nick Nolte bleeding through his upturned nose into his pillow--we see the physical agony of these walking receptacles of pus and scars and shattered joints, pumped full of speed and xylocane. Nolte, step by agonizing step, gropes for his painkillers, washes them down with warm beer, and settles into his tub to get high. Fortified, he staggers through the Pro Football Day--wild parties, reckless hunting, chasing women. Does the pleasure make up for the pain? This is North Dallas Forty's existensial question. Phil Elliot, Nolte's latest in a series of Rugged Individual...
Jackson's public meetings with blacks were warm, emotional affairs, his private meeting with executives of U.S. corporations predictably though and cool. An ardent opponent of American investment in South Africa, Jackson was unimpressed by token attempts of some of the 350 American firms doing business in the country to challenge apartheid.

The performance he leads here -warm, spirited, well sung-is the best available on disc, and the only uncut...
...pleasures of this loose, warm, funny movie extend well beyond the plot. Dave has three teen-age cronies (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern and Jackie Earle Haley), all clearly defined by Writer Tesich and well played by the young actors. The kids' style of hanging out-their scrapes, gags and their frustrations-is observed with a tart affection and a truthfulness that are very refreshing. So is their milieu. The boys are townies, called "cutters," because people of their class have traditionally worked in the nearby limestone quarries in Bloomington, where Indiana University is located. The resentment the cutters feel...
