The film , directed by Steven Soderbergh , would be worth seeing just for Stamp 's performance , at once rock-hard and goofily blinkered , and for Peter Fonda 's wittily self-parodic turn as the suspected killer , a music producer who coasts on ' 60s counterculture easiness while his lackeys do the dirty work .
Steven Soderbergh 's directorial efforts fall short but are propped up his two stars .
