"I actually went to the theater as an eleven-year-old and saw this film in its original release. (I know. Weird.) The cinematography (Raoul Coutard), the editing (Françoise Bonnot won the Oscar), the score by Mikis Theodorakis, and the performances by Yves Montand, Irene Papas, and Jean-Louis Trintignant created an overall intensity that overwhelmed me. One of the most searing political thrillers ever made, and one of Costa-Gavras’s greatest, it won best foreign language film at the Academy Awards in 1970."

"I still think this may be the most nerve-racking film I’ve ever seen. It blows away modern action thrillers, doing so much more with so much less. No big effects, no CGI. Just a few desperate men, a few old trucks, a bumpy old road, and tons of explosives. Add in a political consciousness that was sharp enough it was censored out of early U.S. cuts, and a sense of irony that raises this beyond “entertainment,” and you have a thriller unlike anything before or since."

I liked the idea behind the story but it didn't quite have the emotion in it that I like for my mm romances. I didn't get pulled into the story and feel the characters emotions myself.

It was definitely something different with the president falling for a Secret Service agent and I really did like that about it. It has some prominent political moments and some good action scenes but I'm not sure if I've been drawn into the series enough to continue it.

Dustin Hoffman Masterclass

From the period of Hoffman's career when he could do no wrong. His portrayal of a man from youth to extreme old age is riveting. Never dull for a minute and very educational / thought provoking. Has dated some, especially in it's own political subtext, but still something of a little seen classic. If you like Dancing With Wolves and or Mr. Nobody, give it a try!
