Wes Maybe I would have appreciated it more if I was an adult back in the 70s. Boring. It’s interesting getting a look at 70s urban blight. Union Square became a big skate spot 20 years later. Movies like this are why Star Wars was such a hit and came at the right time. What a contrast! Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Alexander Super boring. Francis made this after The Godfather and even explains in the mini interview that he did not screen it with anyone except for a few babysitters. Maybe he knew subconsciously that this is a terrible movie and couldnt stand any honest feedback. Waste of my time and money. I walked out less than halfway into it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review John Z Well-crafted film, and expected to be such from a fine director like F. F. Coppola!A suggested tweak for the ending: have Caul sit in a chair, play his sax for a few minutes, set the instrument down, and stare at it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Pongo K Supposedly one of the greatest movies. Not for me. Ok, it was made in 1974, but still. Confusing, not very explanatory, strange ending. Watch it because it is "IT", but prepare to get disappointed. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Commin C I watched this because I wanted to watch a Gene Hackman movie that I've never seen before, and this had great reviews. The movie does a phenomenal job at touching on things such as obsession, paranoia, fear, and our desire for personal privacy. Gene Hackman was great, as always, and made the movie what it is. With that said, I wouldn't recommend this if slow burners easily bore you, or you aren't a big fan of Gene Hackman. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Laurian D I have always loved Gene Hackman's work, God bless his soul, and he was the only reason I managed to watch this movie until the end. It's terribly slow and almost static at times. Although the plot is pretty simple and linear, it drags and drags until you'll feel the urge to change the playback speed to 1.25.Sometimes more is less, which is exactly the case here.Watch it for Gene, he keeps it from falling totally flat. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
