Meticulously constructed and beautifully realised.

A puzzle-master's delight.

Richard Rush's inventive narrative about the blurred lines between movie reality and factual reality is vastly entertaining, boasting Peter O'Toole in a diabolical, delicious Oscar-nominated performance.
March 13, 2015
The narrative doesn't come to life until Peter O'Toole wraps it around himself like a Renaissance cloak, and stares pensively into the distance.

O'Toole is excellent in his best, cleanest performance in years.

It's one of the great movies about the movies and a devious exploration of trust in the line between art and life.

The result is a movie filled with gags and excellent stunts which remains curiously humourless at heart. Stunted, not stunning.

The fun lies in the journey. It is a trip of constantly shifting perceptions and sharply etched satirical sketches of movie types. It is also a carnival of bang-up stunt scenes.

Lawrence B. Marcus's script, which pits real life against reel life, offers plenty of wit, with most of the bons mots handed to O'Toole.

Sensationally original.

A film that depends on deceiving us has got to play by its own rules. If we are going to be deceived in general, fine, but then we can't be cheated on particulars.
March 13, 2015
Pretentious, overenergized, muddled, intellectually bogus, and very entertaining for it.
