Review of Seconds (1966) by Wes M — 20 Aug 2011
SHOCKING.
Damn, it's still hitting me how good this was! I can't believe somebody had the balls to be this dark and ominous 45 years ago. That's truly amazing. I'll review this movie, but I'd rather not, even the trailer is just one big spoiler alert. You absolutely must go into this one blindly, or the experience will be ruined. What I will tell you, is that Rock Hudson, who I've never heard of, gives the performace of his life. It's directed by John Frankenheimer (hehe funny name), the guy behind the original Manchurian Candidate. Apparently, he made a few good movies in the 60s, then a bunch of shitty ones after that...bummer! Also, you'll notice some camera work that has been popularized by Aronofsky, so yea, that's awesome. I love you, neo-noir :].
