REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 24-Jul-2005)

"The Stunt Man" has long been one of my favorite movies. Brilliantly acted by Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback and Barbara Hershey, its message of trust, compassion, and love comes shining through in 2005, twenty-five years after it's release in 1980. Those who disliked this film probably didn't understand it. Or worse yet...didn't want to. Railsback more than stood up to the mega talent of O'Toole. The film within a film was outrageous then and is now; sorry we didn't get to see it completed as a short somehow. Now and then a film comes along that captures the essence of great movie making. I love to see it on cable, although I bought it on tape for a small fortune as soon as it was released. It is more fun knowing that people everywhere are enjoying it too. csk
