"With sunny patience, Holbrook plays an English teacher in thh rehabilitation center,
which is really a prison for young junkies, male and female and black and white.
Pacino portrays the most evil of the students -- a fidge~y, cocky monster if you ever saw
one, and he has little chance of being "cured" and winning a release. The most tense
moments in TIGER come when Pacino visits the establishment s psychiatrist, David
Opatashu, and vilifies and threatens this essentially gentle man. But the doctor persists
until the young inmate tells of a sordid family life and how, after many years, he
tracked down his father in a barber shop and beat him -- perhaps to death... Another
good scene is one in which Holbrook s students put on a mad version of Dickens"
Christmas Carol at holiday time. Among several well-written and admirably acted
pe~TCormances are those by Lazaro Perez, a harmless and charming maniac; Jon Ri-
chards, a veteran official of the institution, who looks timid but is hard as granite; and
Jose Perez, a perverted and cynical young rebel. " --The New York Daily News
