True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

"Black Sunday" is a political terror film based on a novel of the same title by Thomas Harris. Harris said his book was inspired by the massacre at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. The Palestinian terrorist group, Black September, kidnapped and killed 11 Israeli athletes in that event. Anyone who watched TV coverage of the event will never forget it. In this film, a dishonored Viet Nam veteran sets out to commit suicide by taking many lives with him. He contacts the Black September group, which helps him commandeer a Goodyear Blimp to fly and explode over the Orange Bowl during the 1977 Super Bowl game. Everyone knows the plot from the pilots, trailers and buildup. But the thrill and excitement are in seeing the story unfold. It's a common "catastrophe" thriller that keeps one on the edge of his or her seat. The suspense, action and superb camera work make this a very good and entertaining, if somewhat dark, action film.

Yes folks, this film is a pure masterpiece that I discovered nearly forty years ago. Tense, tight and sharp as an axe, supported by a superb casting. Especially, as my own point of view, Marthe Keller, who gives here one of her best performances ever as the evil woman, for whom the audience can perfectly feel empathy. This film is particular because you have no real bad guys vs good guys scheme. And I LOVE this. I will never forget the scene when Bruce Dern tells Marthe Keller that he loves her, just before she suddenly cries, she, the cold blooded killer who seeks revenge on her family, slaughtered and raped in Paestine - mother, brothers and sister. A so moving sequence. She cries because she knows that they will bothpull a non return mission, a one way to hell trip. Poignant. And fifteen minutes later, aboard the blimp cabin, no more tears on hercheeks, she becomes again a cold blooded machine killer, with theoutstanding John Williams score. I feel shivers on my skin only by writing it down.A pure gem

Yes this was a great story, but the way this movie was filmed is remarkable. You'll never see a film made today where the actors were filmed in the middle of the biggest game of the year The Super Bowl. And filming real teams and real players. You have to look into the director's work and what he accomplished to get the movie done. The 70's was a time where you could get close to the players and the stars without the annoying security of police and secret service we are inconvenienced by today. Post 911 will never allow a director to get away with making a movie like this ever again. I would like nothing more than to see a sequel but that's impossible since the teams would fictitious along with penned names. My father in law Jack Adams worked for Wilson Sporting Goods back in this era and walked directly in to the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins locker room unscathed where every player including Bob Griese himself signed a football for him.
