Bruce Dern is ideally cast as Lander, a crazed Vietnam veteran, in Black Sunday. Lander joins terrorists Dahlia (Marthe Keller) and Fasil (Bekim Fehmu) in a plot to create a bloodbath at the annual Super Bowl. Piloting the ubiquitous Goodyear blimp, Lander is to ram the aircraft into the capacity Orange Bowl crowd, then fire thousands of poisoned darts into the fleeing spectators. Israeli military officer Kabakov (Robert Shaw) struggles to thwart Lander's plan before it comes to fruition. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Excellent film. While the terrorist group may seem outdated, the message is not. I am surprised that a film such as this has not gotten more notice for the message it sends and that could be sent to the United States about our country's position as a world power. Performances are excellent, by Shaw and Dern, as always. The standout is Marthe Keller who was probably a formidable femme fetale, even for her time and is a plausible mold for characters such as Sidney Bristow, Dark Angel's Jessica Alba, and Buffy's Sarah Michelle Geller.

    Got through 45 minutes before I decided to just forward until the end. Very long movie and had a hard time following some of the story. Bruce Dern was excellent.

    Tense and timely, this realistic, documentary-style flick is slightly marred by suckly special effects (Man, has hollywood come a long way in that department!) The acting by Shaw and Keller is superb,and if there is any actor out there that can play a tightly wound Loonball better than Bruce Dern, I'd like to hear about him. The man is riveting to watch.
