      Audience Member Well crafted story. Good casting. Apart from the film's integrity, it's interesting to watch some important "names" early in their careers: Martin Sheen, Beau Bridges. And who knew Ed McMahon was an actor? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Good film. Enraging. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review paul h One so-called "critic", one Nicholas Bell, claims the movie displays a troubled America, a result, he says, of our past discrimination committed by our forefathers? So typical of a snooty, out-of-touch elitist movie critic. Rather, this movie does show what has broken down in American's urban centers, full of hustle, bustle and a breakdown in human relations not found in most of America, which is, fortunately populated by small towns and villages of perfectly nice human beings. Cities of America are mostly crying out for help but are run by political hacks and other would be social engineers with great heaps of political correctness. Once they discover rural America; the space between the East and West coast, perhaps there is hope for them even now? This movie serves as a reminder of how life can so easily get on the wrong subway track. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member For most of us, there are times in life when we must summon the courage to confront evil. When that calling goes unanswered the affects can be devastating. The Incident explores this theme. The film lacks depth as the characters are stereotypical and predictable. Nonetheless, this neo-noir is worth a look as the cast is stellar and the black and white cinematography sharp. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Enormous cast, a dozen stars or future stars, High Suspense Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review bob k Effective stereotypes but it still works. A parable about NYC in the 60's. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The photography is fuzzy, the characters are gold-plated stereotypes, the plot is obvious and advances automatically. But the movie works; it delivers the goods. It creates the suspense and fear it tries for. Rated: 3/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The sort of raw drama that, sad to say, never loses its topicality. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com It's an exercise which remains as potent a time capsule as it is a mirror for the mutated behaviors and discriminations of today's vehemently troubled America which were inherited from their ignorant, complacent forefathers. Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2020 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Hard to watch for all the right reasons Aug 12, 2019 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Web Radio It has been said about the film industry in the US, that it's a business whose commercial product just happens to be movies.
