Tonight on the Max platform, revisit “Absolute Power,” a standout 90s thriller where Clint Eastwood finds himself up against the President of the United States.
Throughout his long and successful career, master thief Luther Whitney has managed to rob hundreds of wealthy homeowners without ever getting caught. As he considers retirement, he decides to risk one last heist at the home of Walter Sullivan, a philanthropist with close ties to Washington politicians, who is away at his vacation home.
On the night of the burglary, Luther hears noises and hides in a secret room in the bedroom, behind a one-way mirror. From there, he witnesses a murder involving Christy, Sullivan’s young wife, and her lover, who is none other than… the President of the United States!
Top-Notch Entertainment
Let’s be clear: when scanning Clint Eastwood’s extensive directorial filmography, one might linger a bit longer on masterpieces like “A Perfect World,” “Million Dollar Baby,” or “Gran Torino” than on a film like “Absolute Power.”
Released five years after his masterpiece “Unforgiven,” this political thriller may not be counted among Clint’s essential works, but it is still a genuine treat to watch.
Eastwood VS Hackman, round 2
A high-quality entertainment piece rated 3.7 stars out of 5 by AlloCiné viewers, this high-stakes thriller, penned by the great William Goldman (also known for “All the President’s Men,” “Marathon Man,” “Heat,” and “Misery”), sets up another face-off between Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman, years after their legendary duel as William Munny and Little Bill Dagget in “Unforgiven.”
Joining them is Ed Harris, playing a sharp-witted police lieutenant on Luther’s trail.
So, if you’re a fan of Clint Eastwood and looking for some solid entertainment to enjoy with friends on the Max platform, look no further!
