Avoided in example sentence
I wanted it to be good,I didn't want them to have screwed it up;sadly I was disappointed on both counts.It's a Bb run - of - the - mill hack job.I doubt if either of the leads gave much thought to their roles,about the best you could say was that they avoided bumping into the scenery.Mr Daniel J.Travanti never repeated his success as Lt Frank Furillo in "Hill St Blues" and is woefully miscast here.He should have sued his agent.There are extraneous scenes that do nothing to help the story(one involving the Air Crash Investigator hero Bill Smith as a child involved in a plane crash makes nonsense of the whole story) and all the subtlety of the novel is replaced by noise and flashy lighting.
