 Black Sunday $9.99 Director John Frankenheimer is most well-known for some of his suspsense thrillers he made, including The Manchurian Candidate and Seven Days in May, but Black Sunday has somehow escaped the spotlight. In late 1975, Mossad agent David Kabakov leads an assault on a terrorist compound of Black September and uncovers evidence that the group is planning an attack somewhere in the U.S. soon after the New Year. Kabakov teams up with the FBI to try and uncover and prevent the plot and soon founds out the intended target, Super Bowl X in Miami where 80,000 fans will be at risk. But Kabakov doesn't know how the attack will hit so he can he stop the attack in time? Frankenheimer filmed many scenes at the actual Super Bowl in the Orange Bowl as the Cowboys and Steelers duked it out which adds a really cool sense of reality to the movie. As a thriller, this movie really works as the tension rises as Kabakov draws nearer while the terrorists get ready for their attack. With a good score by John Williams, this is an excellent if not hugely well-known thriller from the 70s so give it a try! In a career that had him play a huge variety of different characters, a shark hunter, a Bond villian, Gen. Custer, Robert Shaw adds another unique role to his list as Mossad agent David Kabakov, a veteran of 30 years who's burned out but gets a jolt early in the movie that sparks his emotions again as he hunts down the members of Black September. Bruce Dern gives a great performance as Michael Lander, an unhinged Vietnam vet who holds much resentment for the US because of his treatment following his release from the Viet Cong after six years in captivity. His feelings make him an easy target for the terrorists to manipulate him into helping use the Goodyear blimp and a specialized explosive to attack the Super Bow. Marthe Keller is chilling as Dahlia, a Black September member who more or less is Lander's keeper as she orchestrates the attack. In a small role, Bekim Fehmiu plays Fasil, the determined Black September leader. Also in the cast is Fritz Weaver as Corley, an FBI agent working with Kabakov, and Steven Keats as Robert Moskevsky, Kabakov's long-time partner. The DVD has no special features, but the widescreen presentation looks great, especially all the scenes filmed at Super Bowl X in the Orange Bowl in Miami. Overall though, it's an exciting, well-made thriller with a good cast, especially the three leads, so check out Black Sunday!
