What critics compared Absolute Power to
And there is but one example of why American thrillers involving the president—Absolute Power, Murder At 1600, Deterrence, Independence Day, Air Force One, etc.—are doomed to be completely ridiculous.
Even though that holds true for Allen, the obvious vocal work of Gene Hackman ("Unforgiven," "Absolute Power") and Sylvester Stallone ("Rocky," "Cliffhanger") is excellent (and who would have thought that of the latter after "Yo, Adrienne!").
