Leave your thoughts about Absolute Power.
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxEastwood labors in a role that calls for someone far less forceful, while Hackman is positively embarassing. These were the same guys who made Unforgiven? |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA first-rate thriller about arrogance at the top. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenEastwood is at his effortless, slyboots best and the film is as preposterous as it is delightful. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsDramatically and cinematically, the film is fabulous until the final third of its two hours, when everyone tries a tad too hard, from scriptwriter to director. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerDunderheaded fantasy about noble thieves and corrupt commander-in-chiefs. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe script calls for no bold statements about the politics of the White House, which makes the film rather weak in purpose. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserEastwood is perfect as the bad guy (a thief) you root for. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA fairly routine thriller that gets high marks as a result of tight pacing and top-notch acting. |
| TimeRichard CorlissEastwood is in good, sly form, once again delighting in a character's splendid solitude and singular skill at what he does. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThis is just a better makeup job on the same misogynist theme: live woman = nothing; dead woman = power. |
