but the point stands, he's not writing for a highschool exam board, the fact that he doesn't always give supporting quotations doesn't automatically make what he's saying is wrong. besides, he gives evidence for most of his points (not always in quotation form. and as i say, quotations can be misleading), to about the level I usually find in professional criticism

and when he doesn't give evidence, like here
"In this cosmos of unforced integration, there is a fundamental, hard bitten morality; the sole taboos are the callous unintentional, and indifferent crimes committed against the guilty as well as the innocent. Redemption is possible only through the rigors of and dangers of compassion, the essence of a loyalty that reaches down as well as up, to those who don't understand and to those who do."
evidence can be readily found in the film. Bruce Willis - already with a two homicides under his belt - out of compassion rescues his personal enemy from the rapists
