Run Time: 2:05
U.S. Home Release Date: 2025-08-14
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Sidney Lumet
Cast: Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, Chris Sarandon, Penelope Allen, Sully Boyar, Susan Peretz, James Broderick

The Lumet–Pacino collaboration remains as thrilling for audiences today as it was for the parents and grandparents who first experienced it in theaters.

This represents essential viewing for Christopher Reeve fans as it fills some of the white space left by other, more authoritative biographical approaches.

With impeccable period details, top-notch performances, and the text of one of the most lauded plays of the 20th century, this represents one of the stronger unsung late-2024 drops from Netflix.

Run Time: 1:35
U.S. Home Release Date: 2025-05-12
MPAA Rating: "PG" (Violence, Mature Themes)
Genre: Fantasy/Horror
Director: Jack Clayton
Cast: Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Diane Ladd, Vidal Peterson, Shawn Carson, Pam Grier, Royal Dano

The film is worth searching out, especially if one appreciates movies that craft a spell with a powerfully rendered setting and unconventional storytelling.

Contains moments that can stand alongside the best of the Tarantino oeuvre but the overlong running time and general unevenness prevent it from achieving greatness.
