scores highest in balancing plot with characterization. I'm
wondering what others you would put high on the Thompson
list? Any sleepers that we ought to hunt
up?.......................................
Killer Inside, Grifters, and Hell of a Woman all are really
good Thompson in my book. Sleepers might be The Criminal, The
Killoff, and I enjoyed the hell out of The Golden Gizmo which
is funny and highly enertaining. It's Thompson's version of
the Tall Tale meets Noir. The Golden Gizmo is my favorite
Thompson yet it is not even in the running in the best
written category.
