Scarecrow | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

"Scarecrow," principally because of the Hackman-Pacino tandem performance, has a kind of soiled, slum-charm...

It isn't often a performance is really worth the price of admission, but if you can allow for Pacino, I think you'll find Hackman's work in "Scarecrow" to be that good.

Thanks to an ingenious performance from Gene Hackman, "Scarecrow" commands more attention than its meandering and fundamentally pointless narrative deserves.

Intelligent, raucously funny, startling, continuously interesting, and quite affecting.

Maybe some day we'll progress past the point where the "seriousness" of a film is determined by the moroseness of its finale, as though the audience must pay penance for the laughs during the comedic moments.
