An American drama directed by John Schlesinger, starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman.
A cowboy moves from Texas to New York City and tries to work as a male prostitute. He meets a small time criminal/hustler and they become friends.
I would say this was "middle of the road". The plot was fairly straightforward and clear. The 2 main characters were moderately developed. There was really not much that stood out to me. The only thing that I will mention is editing. There was a party scene and a set of scenes near the end in which different images were edited in a non-consecutive fashion. There was a little clip of something, clip of something else and then back to the original or something else again. I'm rating it o.k. because it was so average.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Rainmaker (1997)
An American courtroom drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Danny Glover, Jon Voight, Mickey Rourke and Virginia Madsen.
A new lawyer takes a difficult case involving health insurance.
I don't like watching games of Lawyers & Lawsuits. The plot does not interest me and I don't care what happens to the characters. Everything made sense and the characters were acted decently. The camera-work was nothing to write home about and the slow pacing made this seem longer than it actually was. Overall, I was not interested. I rate this poor.
