Two-Minute Warning (1976)

Decent 70s feel, but not enough here to sustain a 2 hour movie

[6/10 · 25 February 2013]

If you like 70s movies (which I do) or Charlton Heston (which I do, as an actor only) this movie has much too like. I enjoyed just looking at the outfits and cars and the old LA Coliseum. But there is not much to this movie. Sniper sets up in stadium. He gets noticed and rest of movie is trying to get to him. A helicopter should have been dispatched immediately with 4 snipers on board sending withering fire at this guy. Of course this does not make for a movie but off the bat the idea that this guy is protected is annoying. But that's the whole movie, did it really need to go on for almost 2 hours? There is no twist, no motive, no background here. It would have been interesting to see more about the sniper and why he is doing this. Too many football scenes padding the film. The riot scene at end is well done, but that's about it. Overall kind of weak, which is why this movie is not too well known.
