Movie Reviews of The Parallax View
Movie Review: A Classic Thriller.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Parallax View (1974) came out before Hollywood began to produce slicker, more over-rated political thrillers. In this film, a senator is shot and killed but no one saw the killer. Warren Beatty plays a journalist who goes undercover to find out who killed the senator and a number of other witnesses to the crime. Pakula's directing is excellent with many memorable scenes. This was a different role for Beatty and he does well in a political thriller. The story is interesting and original with a thought provoking ending. This is a must have for any film collector.Movie Review: "Extermination Incorporated"
Summary: 5 Stars
A good retro movie to watch if you like conspiracy theories as a storyline. The Parallax Corporation is a fictional organization that trains assassins. Warren Beatty as Frady, (as in Fraidy-Cat, maybe?) seemingly paranoid journalistic investigator, gets on to their schemes, putting himself in grave danger and knowing he will not be believed by anyone. I really enjoyed this movie when I viewed it on the big screen in the Seventies. Warren is very, very good as is Hume Cronyn.Movie Review: One of the best political thrillers
Summary: 5 Stars
The idea of corporations brainwashing people into assassins is a creepy one. Watch this movie and you will believe it could happen. Warren Beatty stars in this movie as a reporter who is investigating the convenient deaths of other reporters present at a Senator's death. Twists and turns abound and at the end you are left thinking of the Warren Commission and all the other assassinations of the 1960's. Rent it, you won't be disappointed.Movie Review: The Parallax View
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the top political paranoia thrillers. Director Pakula uses this story to stir up familiar fears and doubts about our countrys recent past. The result is eerily compelling. Direction, script and acting are uniformly excellent, and the film's climax is particularly intense. One of my favorite Beatty outings.Movie Review: A Classic Political Thriller!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pakula did a great job directing this classic. I love the imagery of this film, the scene set up and the eventual consequences that take place. Warren Beatty is great as the investigative reporter. This is one great film! One of the most underrated films of the 70's!
