3.0 out of 5 stars One of the most poorly edited films in history, July 13, 2007
By Larry VanDeSande (Mason, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I'm on board with everything Trevor Willsmer said about this film and will go him one better: this is the most poorly edited film in movie history. The chain of events in this movie is so incongruous is strains the viewer to stay involved and eventually defeats every viewer's ability to manage the "plot".

I'll never forget the day I waited in anticipation of seeing it at the theater when it came out in 1980. While standing in line to enter, my frined from work came out. I asked him how it was. "You have to keep up with it," he said.

Not much question today that he wasn't being cryptic or evasive in his response. This film had everything going for it -- great actors, a timely plot, perhaps even more timely today, great studio values, wonderful lighting, everything except an editor.

Why wasn't this film re-edited?

5.0 out of 5 stars What you didn't know about OPEC., April 29, 2007
By Mark Loupe (Baton Rouge, LA. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great thriller about Oil and politics. As you know our country has protected our intrest in the Middle East for decades. Many americans have gone to war and have died because of it. I'm sure there are hundreds of servicemen we don't even know about who have similarly died as well. This movie has an un-nerving plot and the climax is even more unbeliveable. You have got to see this irony.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Last Fifteen Minutes, March 14, 2009
By Admit One (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I remember when this movie opened in 1980. I was really excited to see Brando and Scott together on screen (especially Scott). It was the beginning of a frequently repeated lesson. Two legends on the screen at the same time more often than not produce more of a fizzle than a bang. Prophetic and timely this could have been a great film. Instead, at the end you feel like you have been served day old soda.

There are some wonderful bits and scenes in the film, it's just that they are also so many long dull passages that you have to go through to get to them. The last fifteen minutes of the film almost make the rest of the movie worthwhile. It's so well written and acted that it still packs a timely punch.

Oil is not the only thing that this film nails flatly on the the head but Brando's line "Human beings are a very complex paradigm. Very very dangerous. They don't want to be leaders they want to be followers. They can't wait to find some nut who they think is just wonderful, to tell them what to do."

If that is not applicable to American thought today, well...

Overall it's a B film with A list actors. Moments of brilliance through a dense fog of bad editing and questionable direction.
