4.0 out of 5 stars It Ain't Just Mickey Rourke!!!, November 28, 2010

Tim Mc Intyre "Pat" - See all my reviews

This review is from: City in Fear [VHS] (VHS Tape)

David Janssen gives a Tour De Force in his last performance as a news columnist.Robert Vaughn plays a worthy advisory as his boss/publisher.The cast is full of TV/Movie veterans including William Daniels,Lane Smith,Perry King,Allan Miller,Susan Sullivan,and M Emmet Walsh.The story loosely based on the 'Son of Sam' hysteria of the 70's has aged well. There are three views of this story;the newspaper coverage,the killer,and the police investigation.It works best from newspaper coverage followed by the killer's(Rourke's)view.The police investigation is the weakest.Despite that shortcoming the acting and dialogue is first rate.The characters are shown to be multidimentional with strength and flaws. Despite the fact it has not been released on DVD it is worth seeking out.
