ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE

THIS FILM IS FRIEDKINS MASTERPIECE. LAST AUGUST I WATCHED THE DVD VERSION 3 TIMES IN ONE WEEK, NOW I SAW A SCREENING LAST WEEKEND OF THE REMASTERED VERSION, BOUGHT THE BLU RAY AND AM WATCHING AGAIN.
ANYONE NOTICE THE PARALLEL DEATHS OF THE MEN WHO KILL IN THE FILM?
KASSEM THE TERRORIST BOMBER BLOWS UP INNOCENT LIVES IN JERUSALEM GETS BLOWN UP HIMSELF.
NILO THE HITMAN SHOOTS AN UNARMED MAN IN THE OPENING SCENE AND THEN IN THE END GETS SHOT HIMSELF.

THE WHOLE MOVIE IS GREAT, TOO BAD SOME PEOPLE ARE SO TASTELESS AND HAVE SHORT ATTENTIONS AND CALL THE FILM BORING. THATS WHY THE FILMS OF THE 70S WERE SO GREAT, THEY DIDNT HAVE EXPLOSIONS, CAR CHASES, HORRID HANDHELD CAMERA EVERY SECOND EVERY 5 MINUTES. THEY HAD SLOW BUILDUPS, AND CHARACTERIZATIONS.
THE BRIDGE CROSSING SEQUENCE IN THIS IS AWESOME.
ALL THE PERFORMANCES ARE GREAT.
IM ONLY DISAPPOINTED FRIEDKIN DIDNT RECORD A COMMENTARY
FOR THE RE RELEASE. I READ HIS BIOGRAPHY AND THE CHAPTER ON THE MAKING OF THIS, BUT WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HEAR HIM TELL IT.
HIS BEST FILM HANDS DOWN.
