Underrated political thriller. Great script. Great performances

| Jun 1, 2024

Of the seven motion pictures Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas starred in together during their careers, 1964’s Seven Days in May is unquestionably my favorite.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 22, 2024

The film remains as topical as ever.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 22, 2021

Seven Days in May stands up ... the issue of the threat represented by the American military to the democratic rights of the people has hardly receded into the background. On the contrary, it is ten times more pressing than it was in 1964.

I went expecting to be entertained by a tough, fast, realistic melodrama... I sat through a meandering parade of conventional 온라인카지노추천 types wandering through situations so vaguely defined that it would be charity to call them implausible.

one of the finest political thrillers ever made

...a decent hour-long thriller trapped within the confines of a bloated misfire.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 3, 2018

Frankenheimer's gripping political tale of conspiracy benefits from taut direction, good acting by an all-star cast, and excellent technical values, especially cinematography.

| Original Score: A- | May 13, 2012

It's a good, engaging movie - great-looking, too, with top-notch photography and production design - but it tends to fall apart when you start kicking the tires and peek under the hood.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 20, 2010

Frankenheimer's Washington, D.C., less baroque than in The Manchurian Candidate but just as hazardous

| Feb 20, 2010

Shot in stark black and white, it shows the military not as the usual buffoons, but as ruthless right-wingers with a political agenda.

Sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

| Aug 13, 2007

A strikingly dramatic, realistic and provocatively topical film.

| Aug 13, 2007

John Frankenheimer directed, too much in love with technique, though he ably taps the neuroticism of Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Fredric March.

| Aug 13, 2007

Gripping political thriller.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 26, 2007

Highly enjoyable.

As dismal as is the complication that they and this picture present, the acknowledgment of its possibility and the discovery of how it might be resolved, with wisdom and fundamental courage, make this a brave and forceful film.
