thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Andres B Not Clint Eastwood's best film but still better than 90% of the films of his era and better than 99% of the current ones. Super entertaining. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Mikey B Clint Eastwood directs and stars in an all star cast. The plot however is all over the place. The suspense is minimal. Not one of Clint's best Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Brad S. R An engaging thriller, if not Clint Eastwood's best. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Eye C I like the character of Mr. Eastwood, the story at the beginning it's so interesting… but the ending doesn't feel real, it resolves the conflict in a way that doesn't feels believable. But very entertaining. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Absolute Power sees Eastwood at his effortless, slyboots best, infused with a predictably deliberate sensibility. A constantly spiralling game of cat-and-mouse, that steadily raises the stakes throughout, boasting an all-star, high-calibre cast and seemingly no one under the age of 30. Eastwood deftly cranks up the suspense at the beginning, and by the end, he's cruising along so briskly that he can afford to throw away the climactic, violent scenes other directors would belabour. Although the film ends on a whimper, it offers one of Eastwood's more understated and deeply felt performances. Unhurried and genteel but enlivened with suspense and bursts of sly humour, there's a real dad energy to this film. Granted it's mostly in how everyone talks with a lot of delightful back and forth between Eastwood and Harris; Gene Hackman plays an absolute slimeball and the supporting cast all fulfil their roles exceptionally well. Married by William Goldman's taut script and a fantastic, if somewhat repetitive, score by regular collaborator Lennie Niehaus (Eastwood, of course, contributed to this as well, mainly in the gorgeous piano pieces); Absolute Power remains a terrific and solidly enjoyable suspense thriller about impending mortality. Even if the plot is a doomsday version of Bill Clinton's Paula Jones problem... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
