Charles Champlin on 'Cruising'

Feb. 10, 1980: Charles Champlin writes, “The principal complaint, artistically, about 'Cruising' is that it is not very clear at the rudimentary level of exposition of character and event. The problem, as with [William] Friedkin's 'Sorcerer,' which he also wrote himself, is in a script that never seems sure enough what it wants to say or prove.”
