- Katarina Witt wins in one host's heart, but he does not want to give her the honor and leans to Frankenheimer instead.
- An unattributed voice hedges 'either Frankenheimer or Mamet'; De Niro is called really good but not great, showing up and doing his job in an era of four movies a year rather than giving a Neil McCauley-level performance.
- The second voice agrees it is Frankenheimer: arguably his best movie, inconceivable in the mid-90s, closer to Grand Prix than The Manchurian Candidate, showing his range and reliable genre filmmaking.
