Powerful film concerning the possible dangers of nuclear power. x
30 seconds in and I have to put it on the list of movies to watch 👍
👏👏🎥🍿
This film, like AllThe President’s Men hooks me from the getgo and each time it’s on, I’m sucked in for the entire movie. One of Fonda’s and Lemmon’s best roles. Definitely NOT preachy, a great thriller, but more importantly, it STICKS with you afterwards (and during) and makes you THINK. Any film that does all that with great acting and production earns my respect. I give this a 9/10. Not perfect, but close enough to forget any of its minor flaws. Highly recommend.👍🏼
100% agree! All the Presidents Men is also a brilliant film! 👏📽
Not seen this one for a while
Hi Steven,
“The China Syndrome” one I’ve not seen since watching it on ITV as a teenager, years & years ago 😬, there’s a Indicator release that I’ve thought about purchasing as I’ve always liked Michael Douglas, & early one for him before developing into a main lead & big actor in the 80’s & 90’s.
Fine review as always 😎👍
Hi Carlos, yes its the indicator release that I own, its a great disc. I do love a good 70's conspiracy thriller and the cast in this (especially Lemmon) do a great job! Thanks for watching as always buddy, hope you're well.
It was pulled from the cinema a few weeks after release due to a similar real-life incident 😲
Yeah, the Three Mile Island incident happened just months later! Crazy!
Still relevant today for sure, great review!
Great review mate; I picked this up on the Indicator label a couple of month ago; really good film that I haven’t seen in a canny while. Have you seen ‘Kes’ bud? It’s one of my all time fav movies and would maybe be interested in a review from you at some point in the future? 😀🍿🎥
Thanks so much for watching! Always appreciated! Kes is one of my favourites and yes, a review is on the cards so keep a look out for it soon!
