I'd figured this for one of the mountain of starry disaster flicks that exploded onto screens thru#the 70s but truthfully this is more of a slowburn suspense piece that's more interested in the buildup than the payoff (no bad thing). it#does bring an impressive cast together tho some (particularly Fonda and Strasberg) are relegated to minor roles that give them very little#to do. Segal is an interesting version of this particular type of thriller hero: he's an asshole‚ and in turn everyone is an asshole to him#the tense finále includes a free Sparks concert‚ which is cool‚ but Bottoms' stoic sociopath (about whom we learn really nothing) doesn't#seem taken with the music. his greatest crime? could be. I'd abandon my crazy terrorism plot if i got the chance to see Ron Mael scowl and#play some sweet tunes at close quarters.
