Absolute Power Ratings & Reviews

  • ርልዪረMarch 21, 2025
    Simply an outstanding thriller with a most intriguing plot. Clint Eastwood is at his best, albeit in much more of a character than a macho role, and Gene Hackman, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, and E.G. Marshall are outstanding. Given a few years between viewings, this one is worth watching more than once!
