Critics reviews
Apocalypse Now
Klute, The Parallax View and All The President’s Men may be vastly superior works to Presumed Innocent and The Pelican Brief but The Devil’s Own was proof positive that the genius behind some of the best political thrillers of all time hadn’t shed his skin entirely just because their chosen field had marched on. Things had changed but Willis and Pakula were still capable of transcending popular form and dated subjects, right up to the end.
