Smilin' Jack Ruby [gotta love that
name!] posted a very positive review of the script for "Dolan's
Cadillac" over at Fandom.com. Jack had
some very interesting things to say...
"I had the opportunity to read the script
and not being ABKing [SZ regular Andrew!
- Craig Zablo], I am skeptical of all things SLY STALLONE.
Well, this role is tailor-made for him."
"He’s the ultimate heavy,
the kingpin of Las Vegas organized crime and the guy who runs
the Mandarin Casino, which rises high over the strip."
"I have read the script and it’s
pretty interesting. You wouldn’t think it, but it
actually combines some elements of "The Shawshank
Redemption" into a revenge thriller, though this
story never tries to get to that level. It’s a revenge
pic, pure and simple."
"If you read the short story, you’ll
find out what this big revenge thing is. Needless to say, it
is something incredibly cinematic that makes me really,
REALLY want to see this movie."
"KEVIN BACON as Tom is
perfect casting..."
"I’m sure this will turn into a
project with a lot of good actors as the parts are
well written."
"I have to hand it to SANDY TITLE
and JONATHON PENNER, this is an adaptation I want
to see..."
"It is well-cast, well-written...
really keeps the tone of STEPHEN KING intact in
the script."
The underlined sections are parts that I highlighted
for emphasis.
