Two Minute Warning ★ 1976 (R)

A sniper plans to take out the president of the United States at an NFL playoff game in this boring, pointless, disaster film that goes on forever. Features all the readymade characters inherent in the genre, but, until its too late, precious little of the mayhem. To get caught watching the TV version, which features more characters and an additional subplot, would be truly disastrous. 116m/C VHS, DVD . Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, Beau Bridges, Marilyn Hassett, David Janssen, Jack Klugman, Walter Pidgeon, Gena Rowlands; D: Larry Peerce; W: Ed Hume; C: Gerald Hirschfeld; M: Charles Fox.
