MCT:August 18, 2008the worst of the 1970s packed in one film. A tedious adaptation of a successful theater play, Sean Connery can't act, the whole script is a joke. But what is really dreadful is the psychoanalysis-ish aspect of the story. Let it be know: I do not care for what is happening in a forty-something policeman.
To be fair all is not awful in this flix. In particular, it is always pleasant to see the specially gritty quality of the film, the image is truly dirty. Lumet is also a good director, so some scenes are truly great. In particular, the moment when the policeman rescues the little girl but ends up looking more guilty the rapist himself. Still it is not worth it. -
MCT:February 17, 2008Interesting film. Connery agreed to come back for one last Bond film in order to do this riskier unconventional movie. About 80% of the film takes place in three rooms (it was based on a play), and sometimes this can get a little tedious, but the interrogation of Ian Bannen by Connery (probably 40 minutes of screen time) is fantastic stuff.

Extremley Intense. Great performences all around,but what else would you expect from Lumet. Trevor Howard and Ian Bannen really stand out, but Connery is flawless and at his best. A real Tour De Force performance, he should have a few awards for this film.

MCT:November 12, 2007Sean Connery gives his best ever performance in this bleak drama directed by the ever so underrated Sidney Lumet.

Bleak and, therefore, unsurprisingly overlooked. This is the film Sean Connery returned to Bond to fund. It's a tight, raw film, and a good argument against Connery naysayers - he holds his own in a cast of extremely familiar British faces - but ultimately, it would probably work better as a stageplay.
