Great chase climaxes a `lost gem', 8 January 2002
Author:
Clark Johnson (clark-9) from Indy
Refreshing `lost' gem!Featuring effective dialog combined with excellent
acting to establish the characters and involve you enough to care what
happens to them.The Douglas and Widmark characters are realistic heroes.
Palance is his usual evil presence.Widmark win the fisticuffs fight
scene,
a car chase of less than 60 seconds with a `logical' end, and a lengthy
chase on foot that shames the overdone chase sequences of contemporary
Hollywood.You know how it will likely end, but the suspense and interest
are sustained throughout.The end of the chase is one of the most
realistic you will ever see.The film seems to slow a little past the
middle, but stay with it for the rewarding conclusion.
