Black Sunday (1977)
4/10
Please, a Sense of Reality
30 November 2016
I'm okay with the anger and the violence brought about by it. We are in a time of terror, some forty years after the making of this film. We have had 9/11 and have been fighting one of the longest wars in our history. This is a great motivation for the plot here. There have been other movies made about these people and those that heroically oppose them. But you can take any situation, no matter how interesting, and utterly ruin the movie by making a rescue that is so beyond belief that human being could never carry it out. Bouncing around through the sky on a blimp, rigging things up, shooting things, cliffhanger exploits are too much. The contrivances are all over the place. The point that should have been made is lost in superfluous exploits of superhuman characters that are not believable.
