Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A natty numbers runner certain that everything is outbound (5 Stars)
As Lou, an almost prissily natty numbers runner certain that everything - even the ocean - has deteriorated, Burt Lancaster gives the performance of his life in Louis Malle's Canadian-financed film Atlantic City (opening today at the Imperial).

It might be fairer to call the picture a John Guare film, for Malle, best known in Ontario as the director of the unseen Pretty Baby, has entered entirely into his gifted playwright's episodic, jazzy view of the universe - Guare's script for Atlantic ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Simply Lancaster
This movie in my opinion is the last great performance of Burt Lancaster. Lancaster plays an aging gambler, who falls for a young woman played by Susan Sarandon. All the performances in the film are good but it's Lancaster who shines the most.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent European film set in the USA
"Atlantic City" follows some small time losers in a city that has seen better days. Atlantic City - as much a character in the film as the human actors - is being pulled down and rebuilt, the old days - represented by Lou (Burt Lancaster) and Gracie (Kate Reid) - are long gone.

Sally Matthews (Susan Sarandon) is the new face of Altantic City, an outsider with no sense of history and a hopeless dreamer. Joseph (Michel Piccoli) represents the sophistication of Europe - although it hard to understand ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wistful Never Was Meets Nubile Wannabe
Low-life Lou may like to boast that he "keeps in trim" with his lady friends and that he's still got solid connections in Vegas, but the plain fact is, it's mostly in his head. Unable to fulfill the grandiose life narrative that he has constructed for himself, and with the once-solid exterior of Atlantic City symbolically crumbling around him, Lou is relegated to literally "answering the bell" and catering to a gaudy, caterwauling shut-in for chump change.

Enter a young miss who uses lemons to freshen ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Grainy, Gritty And A Good Story
This is a little bit on the seedy side but it's well-done and Burt Lancaster, once again, provides us with a wonderful character study. This time he's "Lou Pascal," an old-time small hood playing out his days in pathetic manner in a dingy Atlantic City. In fact, "seedy" describes Atlantic City in this picture.

There's nothing seedy about the opening scene, however. It's an attention- grabber, at least if you're a male. We see Susan Sarandon, squeezing lemon juice over her breasts at the kitchen window. ... Read More
