Underrated


My conclusion on the panned movie THE FURY (1978)

Underrated. Not a master piece, but Kirk Douglas, Amy Irving, and John Cassevetes are all fantastic. De Palma does good work here, the music is moody and creepy, Kirk Douglas is in amazing shape for being in his 60s.

The only real glaring flaw seems to be the ending, because we know he can levitate, so why didn't he? And why didn't she levitate Kirk to save him in the end... I dunno, I just think the ending was a bit weak, and the final scene is just silly....

Apparently Amy Irving's character is DARK PHOENIX of The X-Men ;)

IMDB rating: 7/10
