Just saw it this afternoon, and you were spot on, as usual. Amazing acting by the lead, and everyone else was very good too.

Somehow I had missed this Dortmunder comic caper — my good fortune to get to read it now. So amusing and fun, John and Andy and Tiny scamming scammers, complete with a visit to the OJ Bar & Grill. Which is your favorite Dortmunder book, @levistahl.bsky.social?

I read the 1969 Donald Westlake comic crime novel Somebody Owes Me Money yesterday to stay inside and beat the heat — thanks to seeing it on @levistahl.bsky.social. Great fun as usual — and never had heard of it before.

Fired from the job? You’re the best movie critic the Globe has had!
