Review of Catch-22 (1970) by Tim S — 31 Mar 2009
I loved every second of this movie. From the absolutely stunning opening shot (one of the best openings ever in my opinion) to the fantastic ending, I was really captivated by this film. I loved the dialogue and the performances by a really cool cast.
Alan Arkin proves once again that in his heydey he could carry a film with the best of them. His performance here is funny, sad, and the perfect tour guide through the hell that is war. One of my other favorite performances was from Richard Benjamin who is hilarious.
(Hell, even Bob Newhart and Orson Welles are in this movie and where can you go wrong with them?) The strength of the cast and the entire success of the adaptation has to be attributed to Mike Nichols who I am becoming a huge fan of after watching his earlier work.
