Review of The Parallax View (1974) by Sanity Assassin ! — 29 Jun 2009
Mini-Review: First of all, this film has THE MOST EFFECTIVE MONTAGE I have ever witnessed (sorry, Eisenstein), worth the cost of admission/OOP DVD alone. The movie, as a whole, is bleak and depressing, with interesting visual flourishes that only insist the world is depraved and ready to cave in on poor Beatty.
Unfortunately, scenes that should be more suspenseful either come off as boring as paint drying or the ending to a Dukes-of-Hazzard ep. Still underrated, besides.
