As a movie it is a great movie. IMBD viewers places it at the 87th place. But that is not a reliable estimate of the value of the film. The same list has Inception at the 3rd place (!?)and Fargo at the 119th
. Which demontrates that de gustibus not disputandum (est).
John Houston directed and scripted it. The cast was is not stellar, but very interesting.
