Absolute Power - 9 stars out of 10
Clint Eastwood plays his most comfortable (and greatest) role - a loner with a personal vendetta to make a change for the greater good. Though he has played this role countless times, Eastwood is so intense that it does not even matter: "You heartless whore... I'm not about to run from you." - enough said. He drives this film all the way through, though he has an incredible supporting cast to help push it to the next level. Ed Harris - perfectly cast, Dennis Haysbert - perfectly cast and totally B.A., Laura Linney - charming and perfectly cast, Gene Hackman - perfectly cast and SUCH a jerk! It was purely enjoyable to watch "Absolute Power" because of these actors. Add in an emotionally shocking 25-minute opening to this movie and a strong plot and you will not be able to tear your eyes from the screen.
