Movie Reviews

Notes:
The film's original running time is 111 minutes, but the film was cut by its distributor for its initial theatrical release to a running time of about 95 minutes. The film's director, Donald Cammell, committed suicide shortly after the film's release, and the longer version was pieced together by the film's editor from a tape Cammell had left behind.
