Middle-aged banker Arthur Hamilton is given the opportunity to start a completely new life when he receives calls from his old friend Charlie. The only problem is that Charlie is supposed to be dead. Hamilton is eventually introduced to a firm that will fake his death and create an entirely new look and life for him. After undergoing physical reconstruction surgery and months of training and psychotherapy, Hamilton returns to the world in the form of artist Tony Wilson. He has a nice house in Malibu and a manservant, a company employee who is there to assist him with his adjustment. He finds that the life he had hoped for isn't quite what he expected and asks the company to go through the process with surprising results.
Leave your thoughts about Seconds.
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumCreepy, Twilight Zone-type tale starring Rock Hudson, directed by John Frankenheimer. |
| Film InternationalMatthew Sorrento[C]hange comes only before the cradle and after the grave ... consumerism processes identity until it's oversold. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawFrankenheimer's paranoia trilogy is like a Darwin chart of the evolution of the American Bogeyman. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyFeatures some great technical credits, with rich black-and-white cinematography and deep-focus from James Wong Howe. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceThe summit of Frankenheimer's Sixties unease |
| Scene-Stealers.comEric MelinNo other film I've seen quite captures the feeling of being trapped like Seconds does. Frankenheimer puts it all together with splintered editing that is as bold as it is disorienting. |
| Austin ChronicleChris BakerThough casting this mediocre screen hunk as an uptight businessman's alter ego was a stroke of pop genius for director Frankenheimer, it was Hudson's idea to have two actors play the lead, and his surprisingly thoughtful performance galvanizes this harrowing, cerebral thriller (and suggest Hudson's talents were under-utilized). |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyFrankenheimer’s 1966 riff on identity (and lack thereof) and corporate paranoia is one of his most unnerving, claustrophobic and entertaining efforts. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasFrom the opening-credits sequence (by Saul Bass), Seconds mangles and distends the windows of perception until viewers get immersed in his sweat-soaked nightmare. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickspins an intriguing web for the first half, then slowly slackens to the point of near absurdity before tightening for a crackerjack ending that is as horrifying as it is logical |
