[An under the radar movie with Hanks was Nothing in Common]
Also, “That Thing You Do”
He probably thought he’d tracked down another Son of Sam (David Berkowitz).
There’s a current film on Netflix called “Silver Skies” that stars Barbara Bain, George Hamilton and Valerie Perrine (made fairly recently). It was interesting to see how they aged.
Hanks is good little apparatchik. All for the government, you know!
I remember in college some students would leave their tickets on their windshields while parking illegally in the hope that the parking police would skip their car. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. But that was before the cops could just type your plate number and see when the last time let was.

Saving Pvt Ryan?
A Hollywood actor does not exist who could play a real life military drill seargent, such as, in the movie, Full Metal Jacket.
Despite all the award shows, not one actor ever could play that real life role. The director needed an actual drill seargent.
What does that say about actors? Overrated.
You see, you never see another actor playing the same role for comparison.
The only good one I remember was Darren McGavin in "Tribes."
“Despite all the award shows, not one actor ever could play that real life role. The director needed an actual drill seargent.”
Of course a good actor could play that role.
The guy who played the part of the DI WAS (and is) an actor-——who had been a DI.
