I don't think the director knew what the film was about. I know the actors didn't. I sure the heck never figured it out.

This was awful. It was as if a studio said, "We have a few cars n Tracy players left so let's make a cheapo film and get out moneys worth.". That explains George Hamilton and Suzanne Pleashette getting stuck in this. The rest of the cast was dead broke.

There are a few fun scenes. The party scenes are comic relief. The plot and writing are just so lazy. There are some high drama action scenes that seem out of place and unwarranted.

Really, the only reason to watch is to see the auditorium at Culver City High School, one of the filming locations. Cool architecture.

This film has its flaws, but it is a great shot as a mystery thriller. It is stylish and captivating, with an imperfect end.

Peck is always an interesting and compelling lead. The supporting cast do a great job. The standout is Walter Matthau who shows off his potential as a comedy drama star.

Diane Baker is wonderful in this film. It is at the end of her glamour studio contract days. She is absolutely stunning. If anything could prod Peck's memory it would be her.

This film was shot in black and white which made it look dated upon release but now makes it more of a lost classic.

At the end you might consider the plot too contrived, but you won't consider it a waste of time.

The first hour nothing happens. I mean nothing. It is all filler. You lean that a former prime me nister is accused of Bush like war crimes. People in his circle sit around wringing their hands and that's it.

Ewan finds out his predeceidies a supposed mysterious death. He runs around being followed but still nothing happens. WHO greenlit this awful script? Mote importantly how am I going to come up with six hundred words to explain how full this film was?

Ewan tries his best but he must have senses this film was sinking. The rest of the cast were at the end of their careers.

This film is an insult to its viewers.
