Steve D Slow depressing and not at all interesting. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Bruce D I saw this movie as a teenager and thought it was excellent. Then again, my brother was in it as a sniper at the end, so that's probably why. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst movie EVER by Burt Lancaster. I'd rather sit through Howard The Duck. Comes off as a low budget indie movie, even for a 1970's flick. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok, This film is dated, from the late 70s. It's too long, to begin with. I'm no prude, but the language is awful -- can you imagine Burt Lancaster saying the MF word? I watched it because of the cast, especially Charlie McGraw, my favorite film noir guy, and wonderful Richard Widmark, who made the film palatable for me. You know the film is bad when you only see what the director was attempting to do. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Marred by dialogue-heavy scenes and an endurance test of duration. Like Taking of Pelham 123, I feel I will gain more from repeated viewings. Charles Durning is perfect as the sacrificial lamb in a corrupt world. It's all very good. But for the aforementioned, it could have received warmer reviews by first-time viewers, (like me). As a second-time viewer, I feel exactly the same. Could easily lose half an hour of chat and a much cleverer designed bomb coming out of a chopper. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member With elements from The Rock (20 years later) and Dog Day Afternoon (about a year or two prior), Twilight's Last Gleaming gave a convincingly good movie about a terrorist who takes control of a Nuclear weapon's silo (like The Rock did at Alcatraz) and demands political revelations in exchange for thousands of lives. The enemy, a disgruntled former army sergeant (again, Ed Harris in The Rock should ring a bell), uses prior knowledge to infiltrate the silo and ask for the puppet president's voice to make scandalous political inquiries that will have a major impact on the political landscape. We learn how expendable the US President is. Somewhat slow at times, but for a 1976 film, it was a decent enough movie.
