Marred by dialogue-heavy scenes and an endurance test of duration. Like Taking of Pelham 123, I feel I will gain more from repeated viewings. Charles Durning is perfect as the sacrificial lamb in a corrupt world. It's all very good. But for the aforementioned, it could have received warmer reviews by first-time viewers, (like me). As a second-time viewer, I feel exactly the same. Could easily lose half an hour of chat and a much cleverer designed bomb coming out of a chopper.

A "progressive", pre-Reaganite (and post-JFK--triangulation of fire!), post-Vietnam, nuclear, alchemy of revolution fantasy-thriller, that wants both to disbelieve and believe in the American political and military leadership, and in American democracy. Featuring good use of the split screen.

A nice surprise Twilight's Last Gleaming starts out like a conventional nuclear terroist drama movie to evolve inte something bigger. The first half is stiff terror drama with out of place but still so good Burt Lancaster and always enjoyable Richard Widmark shouting at each other over the telephone. The second half is more philosofical eventhough the drama stills plays out. Deep discussions about the US actions after the world war II and what the Vietnam war was really all about. This movie also makes use of the split screen effect in a amount I've never seen in any 70´s movie, although this was a very popular effect in those days. Great stuff!

A far-fetched but exciting political thriller

Bryan K 27 Dec 2011

In terms of philosophy and political relevance, it is amazing that this film isn't more widely circulated. A harrowing exercise in the realm of national security and the rise of the Defense Department as an entity above even the Federal Government, this film does well to capture the impersonality of the commander-in-chief's relationship with leadership and the seeming inability of administrations to truly dispense with the sins of the one before it. Lancaster is compelling as the patriot leading convicts, delivering poised rhetoric that does well to expose the utter immorality of the President's cabinet. Episodes such as the President being completely misled by bad information from an Air Force general motivated by a personal grudge keep the intensity level high. A lack of character development amongst the convicts and hostages in the silo, along with aesthetics and cinematography that have not dated gracefully, keep this one from scoring higher.
