Okay, I just saw Stakeout with my brother. It's funny, creepy, weird, and...you wanna keep watching to see what happens next. It's not god awful terrible, but it's not fantastic, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes movies like this. It's the kind of movie you watch when you're stuck at home with the flu or something, or just for the hell of watching a really odd movie on a whim. Dreyfuss did a bang-up job as Chris Lecee (or Leechy, as the bad-guy Montgomery called him), and you just had to feel sorry for Estevez because of all the crap he had to put up with. It has a sweet ending though. Bad guy gets his just desserts, the cop gets the girl, and everybody goes home happy in the end.

As the bad guy escaped-convict Montgomery, Aidan Quinn did a pretty sweet job. He got across the intensity of his character very well, making you loathe Montgomery for all of the awful things he does. See it, if Stakeout is the kind of movie that floats your boat.
