Format: PAL, Colour, Widescreen, Anamorphic, Mono
Run time: 1 hour and 33 minutes
Actors: Charlton Heston, Chuck Connors, Lincoln Kilpatrick, Leigh Taylor-Young, & Edward G. Robinson
The film neatly combines police procedural with conspiracy thriller.
Heston's scenes are counterpointed by more elegiac ones in which the centenarian Edward G Robinson as his friend Sol broods on the world he has outlived--his death in a euthanasia chamber is a gloriously lachrymose moment, which he plays to the hilt. Heston, too, is good as Thorn, a morally equivocal cop who loots the apartments of the victims whose deaths he investigates--he's a man just getting by in an impossible world.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.
