Thomas C. Reeves

Violence and confusion. Not worth the time,

A slightly superior version of the 1961 masterpiece.

A first rate firm, in every way.

Dark, brutal, overacting galore .

Gloom, despair, ugliness. Fine acting.

A flop. Confusing and overly long, it guarantees little more than viewer fatigue.

Clint is too old to be playing such a cliched role. A big disappointment.

Poor script. Many traffic scenes for filler. Unsatisfactory.

A delightful, predictable light comedy designed for and about seniors. The acting was superb.

This is better than average cultural and political satire. But it’s badly flawed by being too long and riddled with quirky and pointless film editing. Moreover, the male lead was miscast, Streep as the President was unconvincing, and the cheap shots against conservatives detract from the madcap script. Entertaining but unimportant.
