Editorial Review: Product Description: He was where he shouldn't have been and saw what he shouldn't have seen. Now who will believe the word of a career thief and ex-con? Who will trust Luther Whitney when he says he saw a woman killed and that the man responsible for her death is the President of the United States? Clint Eastwood portrays Whitney and directs this crisp finely acted thriller based on David Baldacci's best-selling novel. A stellar cast which includes Gene Hackman and Ed Harris creates well-rounded characters that intensify constantly spiraling game of cat and mouse between Whitney local police and the highest levels of White House power. Eastwood is a master at steadily raising the stakes in thrillers. Here his mastery is absolute.Running Time: 122 min.System Requirements:Starring: Clint Eastwood Gene Hackman Laura Linney Ed Harris Special Features: Interactive Menus Production Notes Video Format: Widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio Standard 1.33:1 (4.3) Enhanced for 16x9 TV s Subtitles: English Spanish French Track Info: English: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Closed Captioning: Yes # Discs: 1 # Sides: Dual Running Time: 121 minutes; Closed Captioned. Copyright: 1997 Warner Bros.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 012569250826 Amazon.com essential video: Director Clint Eastwood's 1997 box-office hit stars himself as Luther Whitney, a highly skilled thief who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing the murder of a woman involved in a secret tryst with the U.S. president (played by Gene Hackman). Determined to clear his name, Whitney cleverly eludes a tenacious detective (Ed Harris) while investigating a corruption of power reaching to the highest level of government. Adapted by veteran screenwriter William Goldman from David Baldacci's novel, this thriller balances expert suspense with well-drawn characters and an intelligent plot that's just a pounding heartbeat away from real White House headlines. Absolute Power features the great Judy Davis in a memorable supporting role as the White House chief of staff who desperately attempts to cover up the crime. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Absolute PowerAbsolute Power Absolute Power, starring Clint Eastwood, is a well-cast, well-acted, fast-moving story. Good flick, one that can be seen again and again. Rating:  - Don't look for Dirty Harry hereAbsolute Power is about corruption - absolute power corrupts absolutely. Eastwood directs himself in this story of a very professional burglar who finds himself trapped in a closet while a murder is committed in the presence of none other than the American President. What is interesting about this fairly predictable plot is that he seems interested in portraying NOT Dirty Harry. The now aging Luther, having done his time and paid his debt to society, wants nothing more than to reconnect with his ...

In the movie Clint Eastwood plays a master thief who steals to support his art. He happens to break into a Washington D.C. mansion to burglarize the walk-in safe when he witnesses the murder of a very powerful man's wife through the one-way mirror. Eastwood directs and produced this movie. One wonders if he was, also, the key grip for the movie, whatever that is. ... Read More Rating: - It has something missingFirst, I must say that I am a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, since his early days as the man with no name..... I bought this movie without even watching it once, I saw the actors list and read the plot on the back of the dvd and thought to myself "This got to be the hell of a movie". After finishing I didn't think the same. I mean, it has great actors and the story is great but it has something missing for my opinion, things get smooth really easy at the end. However I haven't regreted ... Read More Rating: - Totally unbelievable but still great cinema !This film is one of my all time Clint Eastwood favorites. He plays the kind of semi bad guy that you root for. You almost hope he pulls off the big heist and gets away with it and lives happily ever after because he is Clint. If you can accept the fact that this plot borders on total fantasy, could never happen and defies logic time and time again, you will enjoy the scenario. Lennie Niehaus' film score is perfect in creating the eery and sinister mood throughout the film and Clint's own playing ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
