Clint Eastwood's fantasy of immortality
Offhand, I can't think of any part of this movie that I could believe might happen, but it was still somewhat enjoyable, especially the scenes in which the police detective portrayed by Ed Harris toys with and is toyed with by Clint Eastwood. The 60-something Eastwood is playing an elderly cat... Read full review »
Rough Sex Leads to Murder in Absolute Power
Clint Eastwood has made many movies during the course of his career. I have seen and enjoyed some of those movies. I haven't been as fond of some of his other movies. Absolute Power is one of Eastwood's movies that I did enjoy.
Luther Whitney was an older man who lived alone. He was a...

Absolute Power (1997)
Clint Eastwood plays a geriatric cat burglar who robs a toney DC mansion only to get boxed in by the returning inhabitants – but wait; as he hides within the spacious secret vault he watches the fun through a two way mirror with an easy chair thoughtfully provided at...

Absolutely Boring!
I knew what this movie was, as I had started to read the book on which it is based, by David Baldicci. But the book was so boring, I tossed it aside about one-third through it. It took forever for it to get anywhere. I thought that the movie version might be a bit more exciting since the story... Read full review »
Absolute Power has few absolutes, except that the book version was much better
It seems like anything and everything written by popular fiction authors John Grisham, Michael Crichton, or James Patterson in the 1990s was rushed into movie production shortly after the books hit the shelves. While some of these films were pretty good and attracted large audiences, others fell... Read full review »
Same As "Autocratic Muscle"?
Clint Eastwood is Luther Whitney, professional thief. And, a darned good one. He is a master of disguise, quick and efficient in the art of deception. Although he's been convicted and has served time for theft in the past, he is a criminal with honor. He is not a murderer!
In the act of...

Who can bring down a president?
My friend recommended this movie to me. I am glad she did. This movie started with a jump. I really enjoyed a full cast of famous actors. I am weary about having a full cast because sometimes is seems to take away from the film. I liked to see how people might go to an extent to protect specific... Read full review »
The Power of Good from the Bottom Up
Clint Eastwood (over the years) has become one of the most interesting film makers to ever settle into the Hollywood nest. His work over the last 15 years, in particular.
Absolute Power- while extreme in its premise, works because of its cast, the fleshing out of the characters and their...

Eastwood ego self-stroking
There's a lot that's really hard to swallow in this movie. Just to list a few:
that the Secret Service agents would appear just in time to shoot a woman having rough sex with a president
that his chief of staff (with whom the president is also having an affair) would be on the scene to...

Although Clint Eastwood is the man, this absolutely sucked
Unfortunately, I went to see this movie without knowing anything about it except that Clint Eastwood was in it. That was mistake #1. Mistake #2 was not leaving when I saw what direction the movie was going.
I will not give out plot details (which will not surprise anyone who has read any...

Absolute Power [VHS]
Director Clint Eastwood's 1997 box-office hit stars himself as Luther Whitney, a highly skilled thief who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing the murder of a woman involved in a secret tryst with the U.S. president (played by Gene Hackman). Determined to clear his name, Whitney cleverly eludes a tenacious detective (Ed Harris) while investigating a corruption of power reaching to the highest level of government. Adapted by veteran screenwriter William Goldman from David Baldacci's novel, this thriller balances expert suspense with well-drawn characters and an intelligent plot that's just a pounding heartbeat away from real White House headlines. Absolute Power features the great Judy Davis in a memorable supporting role as the White House chief of staff who desperately attempts to cover up the crime. --Jeff Shannon
