Gene Hackman is in a class by himself.
Sexy?!? I would never use that adjective to describe John Shea. I'll never understand the fans who think he's attractive.
Kevin Spacey did a good job, but he was channeling Gene Hackman. He definitely wasn't playing the suave businessman that Lex became in the late 80's. I like the portrayal, but the problem is that it's not a
modern version of the character.
