TWO MINUTE WARNING - This movie looks and smells like an Irwin Allen all-star disaster. Surprisingly, Irwin Allen had nothing to do with it. The story involves a sniper who positions himself on top of the scoreboard at a football championship game. Charlton Heston, Martin Balsam, and John Cassevetes spring into action to stop him before he starts shooting. It takes 2 hours and 6 minutes for them to figure out what to do. WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST PUT A S.W.A.T. GUY IN THE BLIMP THAT IS FLYING OVER THE STADIUM AND HAVE HIM SHOOT THE SNIPER? The "all-star" cast (Jack Klugman, Beau Bridges, Gena Rowlands, David Janssen, etc.) make this seem like a LOVE BOAT episode set inside a football stadium.
But the DVD only cost me about $6.00, so I don't feel so bad.
Yep.Of Course,This Past Sunday,CBS Had A Movie KInd Of Along That Line.Of Course,Don't Forget The Ultimate "Set Off A Bomb During A Game"Movie:2002's "The Sum Of All Fears"With Ben(I Married Jennifer Garner!!I'm Not The Duck From The Insurance Commercials!!)Affleck and Morgan(I Did Not Survive!!)Freeman.A Little Point To Ponder:Tom Clancy's 'Jack Ryan'Character Sure Has Some Up and Down Growth Spurts!! In "Hunt For Red October",He Was A Younger Man Played By Alec Baldwin. In "Patriot Games"and "Clear and Present Danger",He Was An Older Man Played By Harrison Ford. Then In "Sum Of All Fears",Ben Affleck Played Him As A Younger Man Again!!Go Figure!!
Actually, I think the ultimate "set of a bomb during a game" movie is BLACK SUNDAY with Bruce dern and Robert Shaw.
