Movie Reviews of Pressure Point
Movie Review: A TRIP INTO THE MIND OF A PSYCHOPATH!
Summary: 3 Stars
I had heard many good things about this "explosive and provocative drama", so I decided to check this film out. While the performances are very good and story is interesting, this film about racism and psychological analysis is a bit dated. The artsy camerawork was probably something in it's day, but I found myself getting bored with some of the stagey tactics and monotonous screenplay. The DVD has a good transfer, but I found the audio to have a low bass flutter, making the voices a chore to hear.......this may have instigated my boredom.
Summary of Pressure Point
Oscar?(r) winner* Sidney Poitier sizzles in an electrifying role (Show Business Illustrated) as a prison psychiatrist who clashes with a racist inmate (Bobby Darin) in this explosive and provocative (Citizen News) drama that packs a powerful wallop (LA Herald Examiner)! A prison doctor is charged with treating a hate-filled young man who's been jailed for sedition. As he probes the patient's nightmares, the psychiatrist realizes his twisted visions mask a lust for violence. But the inmate has become a model prisoner, and unless the doctor can convince officials that he's dangerous, he'll soon be back on the street. *1963: Actor, Lilies of the Field; 2001: Honorary AwardDrama DVD Video
