Review of The Big Fix (1978) by Private U — 19 Jan 2009

Mixed bag of a film. At it's best when it concentrates on how the 1960s student radical generation adjusts to 1970s life a few years after the radical wave had subsided; often perceptive and insightful. As a private eye story, holds the interest but a convoluted story (as is regularly the case in such films) that isn't particularly easy to follow and doesn't hold up to much scrutiny once you examine it at the end.

Worth seeing though with some standout scenes and a good cast; F Murray Abraham is a standout in his brief role.
