Terrific and somewhat under-appreciated film this. For me, it was extremely atmospheric and involving - thanks to the compelling (and somewhat against-type) lead performance from Ford- whose vulnerability here belies his usual ultra-heroic type. The score was magnificent and the soundtrack was cool too. The locale and 'shadowy' look of the film really has a spellbinding effect of the viewer. Super direction aswell unsurprisingly
shareI probably have it in the top 3 of the Ford films I've seen. I'd include one of the Indiana Jones films - maybe Raiders; The Fugitive; and this one.
shareThese are the 10 films Ford will be most remembered for:
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Blade Runner
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Witness
Frantic
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Fugitive
*Mosquito Coast was OK, but not spectacular. Most of the rest of Ford's films haven't held up very well.
Yes, together with witness and the Indiana Jones movies
