Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIntelligent sociopolitical thriller that is effective despite being overlong, stiffly acted and executing a rather nutty plot.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeIt's easier to admire Twilight for its intent and its astonishing cast than for what it actually achieves.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 6/10 by Bob BloomA far-fetched but exciting political thriller
User Review - 10/10 by Zoran STWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING (1977) is a fascinating and cynical film. Inventive in its use of split-screens and quadrant-screens, it's also one of the best films about post-Viet Nam American political malaise
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen CQuite possibly the last great film made by the always underated Robert Aldrich. The film has been in limbo for nigh on 30 years ,but thanks to a Bavarian film company this lost film had finally surfaced on region1 DVD. Burt Lancaster plays Lawrence Dell a disgraced army general who seizes control of a nuclear weapons silo based in Montana,Dells demands are simple Money for his two acomplices ,the disclosure of hidden documents on the Vietnam war and lastly the President of the United States as a hostage. Charles Durning plays President Stevens who is placed in a tricky situation by the demands and calls on his inner sanctum to come up with ideas . The film is outstanding due to the fact the cast is great in every shape and form ,Lancaster is good as the disgruntled Dell and Durning really gets his teeth into the role of President and his cabinet contains some acting greats too including Melvyn Douglas as the defense sec Guthrie,Richard Widmark as the ruthless General Mackenzie and a brilliant turn from Gerals S O'Loughlin as Durnings long term friend and advisor who play out a fantastic two handed scene after the President realises he will have to give in to Dells demands. Aldrich directs in his usual sharp manner and the film contains one of the best uses of split screen during a thrilling threatened nucclear missle launch. The film is also very forward in its approach to American foreign policy at the time with the War in Vietnam very much seen as a wasted war in terms of lives at a time when the country wasstill struggling with the effects of that war. The film deserves its rediscovery and i rate it as one of the directors best works and one which maybe now will be seen as a grade A thriller
User Review - 10/10 by Francisco Fgood luck finding this movie, a great indie movie
User Review - 8/10 by Mark PAn underrated nail-biter that had me going from start to finish. A great cast fills out this terrific movie's subplots- one of Robert Aldrich's finest films (especially from his later period)
User Review - 8/10 by Lillian PA great thriller with terrific use of split screen. Very 70's, but that's a good thing.
User Review - 8/10 by Bryan KIn terms of philosophy and political relevance, it is amazing that this film isn't more widely circulated. A harrowing exercise in the realm of national security and the rise of the Defense Department as an entity above even the Federal Government, this film does well to capture the impersonality of the commander-in-chief's relationship with leadership and the seeming inability of administrations to truly dispense with the sins of the one before it. Lancaster is compelling as the patriot leading convicts, delivering poised rhetoric that does well to expose the utter immorality of the President's cabinet. Episodes such as the President being completely misled by bad information from an Air Force general motivated by a personal grudge keep the intensity level high. A lack of character development amongst the convicts and hostages in the silo, along with aesthetics and cinematography that have not dated gracefully, keep this one from scoring higher.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UImagine if The Rock had tension and a script instead of slow motion and Nicholas Cage.
