“Even though this certainly isnu0026#39;t the best movie youu0026#39;ll ever see, itu0026#39;s still a movie that is a perfectly entertaining one. It makes this movie one of my favorite movies to watch from the u0026#39;70u0026#39;s.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie has a really great premise, that provides the movie with plenty of thriller elements and action. It has a lot of elements in it that always make u0026#39;70u0026#39;s movies such great ones to watch. Itu0026#39;s a movie with a conspiracy story but luckily the movie decides to be more entertaining with it than heavy or serious really.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s really mainly the concept and main story that makes this movie an interesting one as well as entertaining. It doesnu0026#39;t always make the movie the most believable one to watch out there but in this particular case that hardly matters at all. Itu0026#39;s such a great and entertaining movie that youu0026#39;re basically willing to forgive everything that is less great about it. Itu0026#39;s a movie that I have always enjoyed watching and always will.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome of the action is really memorable. The plane and helicopters chase in this movie is pretty insane and was obviously very dangerous for all of those involved with it. No way theyu0026#39;ll ever do a sequences like that again now days, with all those heavy regulations for stunts and of course the availability of CGI this present time. But of course as you can expect from an u0026#39;70u0026#39;s movie, there also is plenty of action involving cars and other great action stuff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat also really uplifts the movie and its action and entertainment value is the great musical score by Jerry Goldsmith.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a really well made movie, that got directed with lots of pace by Peter Hyams, who has always been at his best directing action stuff, even though most of his movies arenu0026#39;t exactly among the greatest, this one not included. It also had some real nice camera-work by Bill Butler.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie also has a pretty nice cast with Elliott Gould, Hal Holbrook, James Brolin, Sam Waterston and O.J. Simpson involved. Perhaps itu0026#39;s true though that the movie is lacking a clear main character and the movie isnu0026#39;t always clear with on which character it is going to focus with its main plot. Karen Black and Telly Savalas also make some small, almost cameo like appearances in this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of the most entertaining u0026#39;70u0026#39;s-flicks out there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ehttp://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/”
