Review of The Stunt Man (1980) by Robert S — 20 Jun 2012
Quite honestly, the most bizarre movie I've ever seen. What's so strange about it is that on the surface the narrative seems fairly straigtforward, yet you can never tell what's real and what isn't.
Peter O'Toole is amazing as the psychopathic movie director. The lead actor is no great shakes, but I guess in the 70's it wasn't that rare to have such a high-profile movie with such a no-name actor.
He does what's required of him. I actually didn't mind Barbara Hershey in this either. I usually can't stand her. I would stop short of calling this movie a masterpiece, but it's hard to put it out of your head.
