Review of Two-Minute Warning (1976) by Mike M — 20 Sep 2012
70s star-studded flick focusing on a crazed Super Bowl shooter, the victims he claims and the cops whose job it is to stop him. Heston and Cassavetes star, although personal fav Jack Klugman steals scene after scene as a hapless gambler.
While unique in presenting the tale of the victims first, the real action doesn't get going until, well, read the title again and spoil it for yourself. In the meantime, you just wonder how inept can a police force get in failing to stop this lunatic - even after spotting his exact location? Good last 20 minutes (and Klugman, again, is hilarious) but, overall, this football-with-fatalities fantasy drifts wide right.
