An interesting treatment of the Mueller Report, with at times entertaining voice treatments by the various actors assigned to voice the people involved. Not a substitute for the full report, which is available as a free audio book. Nothing new is brought to light, though perhaps it could bring a different audience to the truth of the abuses Trump has performed with the powers of the office of the President.

Vanishing Point
(1971)
Deep, Meaningful, Forerunner? Or just boring...
11 June 2005
Warning: Spoilers
My friend brought 'Vanishing Point' over last night and convinced me to watch it based on how he perceived it watching it 34 years ago. Well, maybe 34 years ago it was topical (Vietnam, Police corruption, sexual freedom), insightful and exciting, but in 2005 it's just boring. The direction and editing of the film make it difficult to care about any of the characters so when the 'surprise' ending (think Thelma and Louise) comes it doesn't engender any emotion. I watched some of it (2nd time thru) with the commentary on, hoping for some hidden meaning I missed. Even with the commentary on it was putting me to sleep.
On the other hand, I believe the director was correct that some parts of his film inspired other directors (Spielberg in Duel) and story lines (Thelma & Louise).
Four out of 10, mostly for the 70's throwback chic.
