| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film's political authenticity comes into doubt because the characters are so superficial. |
| User ReviewShawn Wwow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch...its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that valeria golino, sharon stone, john pankow, andrew mccarthy play good roles/parts throughout this movie...i think that the director of this action/adventure/drama movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...its an enjoyable movie 2 watch n its really well filmed because its filmed in rome...its a good movie 2 watch n its enjoyable |
| User ReviewVJ BSo apparently the lack of subtitles was unintentional? Didn't actually feel like I was missing anything. |
| User ReviewMichael WAmerican reporter in Italy writes a supposedly ficticious novel which gets taken a bit too seriously, getting several people killed with the help of an overzealous photographer. A bit complicated with styles and fashions that don't really match 1978. |
| User ReviewRalph Rgood performances by McCarthy and Stone. good story. |
| User ReviewStephen CNot bad Thriller from Director John Frankenheimer ,the biggest problem being continuity and a story which turns a vital subject just a little bit stale. The film is meant to be set in 1978 around the time when the Red Brigades kidnapped Aldo Moro and waged war against the state ,the problem is the film is packed full of cars from the late 80s and early 90s so you easily forget the period its meant to be set in. The three lead actors all come off a touch bland and only John Pankow gives a powerful performance as a friend with dubious connections. Frankenhiemer does manage some good touches but by the time the action gathers pace you dont really care whats going on. I tried to enjoy it but when a political thriller lacks thrills and mudlles its politics you come away feeling more confused than when you started. |
| User ReviewJed D"It had its ups and downs." No flaws, for acting. John Pankow, was truly exceptional. Andrew McCarthy, looked awkward, throughout and Sharon Stone, you can not take your eyes off of. |
| User ReviewSanity Assassin !not awful as a bit of drama towards the end but bordering on it! best thing about it was probably sharon stone in her early years but aside from that it just came across all too blithe |
| User ReviewJeff BA surprisingly weak performance from McCarthy, a typical one from Stone, poor directing, and even Conti's score doesn't really fit. |
| User ReviewMichael AIt totally sucked, the only good thing about it was looking at Sharon Stone or Valeria Golino! |
