A lot of fun.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is what I thought twilight 1998 was about (Susan Sarandon) and Jack (Gene Hackman), movie stars at the end of their careers. Shot by the couple's runaway daughter Reese wither spoon I thought to my self wow this sounds like a great movie boy did this not happen at all what I got what I got was totally boring movies and a different story at that the daughter was only in for not even 5 min and seeing her naked doesn't make this movie any better next time a movie tells me what its about i will have to me more cautious

Don't waste your time on this movie - go and watch "Nobody's fool" instead. It's the same author Richard Russo, the same actor Poul Newman, and the same director Robert Benson. And with these the same ingredients - you get an awesome movie in "Nobody's fool" and also and of course read the world class book the movie "Nobody's fool" it made from .Richard Russo a Pulitzer Prize winning author co wrote the script (that was really the reason why I wanted to see Twilight in the first place). I like all the actors in Twilight, it's an all star dream team cast. Still Twilight (1998) an amazingly average movie.The only interesting thing about this Twilight (1998) - is that it makes you wonder - how can so many people that are so gifted get it so wrong? So much talent wasted.

A retired ex-cop and private detective (Paul Newman) who lives with a rich actor (Gene Hackman) who is dying from cancer and his actress wife (Susan Sarandon) gets mixed up in murder when he is asked to deliver blackmail money.In retrospect, this film is notorious for having a young, topless Reese Witherspoon and a Liev Schreiber at the early point in his career. But ignore these things, because they do not matter (even if Witherspoon likes to pretend she forgot she was in this movie).Just check out this cast: Gene Hackman and Paul Newman. The rest are merely a bonus, because these are two of the greatest old white men in acting (at least at the time).

Twilight casts Paul Newman as a former police detective, former private detective now living as a family retainer to glamorous movie star couple Gene Hackman and Susan Sarandon. He's living with them because he was hurt on the job when after being hired to bring back their daughter Reese Witherspoon from running away with Liev Schreiber, Reese accidentally shoots Newman. Don't ask for the circumstances, they have to be seen.Anyway because of what Reese did, Newman is living with her family and one day, he's asked to deliver a package by Hackman to a woman. At the location he finds a fatally shot M. Emmett Walsh still able to shoot at Newman. That sends the whole plot starting which involves the disappearance of a prominent actor and Sarandon's former husband twenty years before.Imagine Philip Marlowe now middle-aged, but entering senior citizenry and you've got Paul Newman in this part. Actually Newman was 74 when he did this role, but could have passed for a dozen years younger. Better still imagine Newman's own Harper which he did in two films and you have a better example.Director Robert Benton assembled a really crackerjack cast in support of those already mentioned. Keep note for James Garner as another retired cop turned private eye, though someone nothing like Jim Rockford, Stockard Channing as Newman's former partner at the LAPD, John Spencer as Channing's boss who would like some explanations as some bodies start to pile up around Newman.Most of all note Margo Martindale who was the woman Newman was supposed to deliver the package to. Note her relationship, personal and professional to at least one other of the cast members. It's a really touching performance of a lonely and frustrated woman.Up to the end of his life, the quality of Paul Newman's work never went down even if he did a clunker or two among his films. Twilight is a perfect example of what I just said.
