Watch Absolute Power For Free

The greatest movie ever made..!

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a film I liked a lot. I don't watch politics. But, it is something you have to really follow. It took me 2 times to catch everything. I loved it when I caught everything. Luther is a very well trained thief.

This is such an underappreciated clint eastwod film, he puts on a great performance, extremely enjoyable, anyone whos a fan of his earlier work like dirty harry should defo give this a watch, I would go to the cinema to see this and thats something I dont do much these days

Marshall (Walter Sullivan)"Corrupts absolutely."Whilst robbing a philanthropic billionaire's mansion, an ageing career thief (Eastwood) secretly witnesses a drunken sexual assault, shooting and organised cover-up involving the US President (Hackman), and must subsequently evade capture by the police, assassination by the president's aides, and somehow prove his innocence having himself become the prime murder suspect.Goldman's unhurried, pared-down adaptation of Baldacci's engrossing bestseller neglects the novel's protagonist in favour of Eastwood's charismatic jewel thief, turning this cat-and-mouse political thriller into an engaging star vehicle for the film's producer/director.The first-rate supporting cast includes Harris as the empathetic cop on the case, Linney as Eastwood's estranged daughter, and Davis as Hackman's volatile chief of staff.Blu-ray Extras: None. ½ (1/10)

A jewel thief, Clint Eastwood, gets more than what he bargained for when he witnesses the president having violent sex with his chief benefactor's wife. Things get out of hand and the Secret Service Agents shoot the woman to death.The Eastwood character grabs the knife that she had used to stab the president. Now, everyone is after Eastwood when he flees.There is a very strong supporting performance by Judy Davis as Gloria Russell, a vicious Chief of Staff who will do just about anything to protect the president. (Gene Hackman)This is a taut thriller with a fine supporting cast consisting of Ed Harris, Laura Linney and others.To say that all ends reasonably well and everyone gets what they deserve, is to put it mildly.How come actor Dennis Haysbert, who portrays one of the agents, has been reduced to selling insurance in various commercials?
