Watching MGM HD, finally had a chance to catch up with Sidney Lumet's The Offence. I have to admit that I have slept some on Lumet's career, but this movie has made me re-think my laxness. From the amazing slo-mo opening to the split second flashbacks that litter the film, Lumet makes the material cinematic while getting great performances from Sean Connery and Trevor Howard, the former as a burned out, angry cop and the latter as a suspected child murderer.
Apparently they filmed the movie in a month, and it really seems as if everyone is just burning.
Flick in the links.
