Industry Reviews
"...COBB unfolds rambunctiously....[Watching Jones is a] frankly captivating experience..."
Maslin
"...As a contemplation of fame and false gods, it's a strong, fair shot..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Michael Sauter (06/30/1995)
"...Tommy Lee Jones nails the type down forever. Only an actor with precise comic timing could measure out such tragic moments....Wuhl is equally excellent..."
