Absolute Power
“Corrupts absolutely.”
Director
Clint Eastwood
Screenplay
William Goldman
Clint Eastwood directed and stars in this political thriller as a master jewel thief who, mid-burglary, witnesses the President of the United States implicated in a woman's death, then becomes the target of a cover-up reaching the highest office. Adapted from David Baldacci's novel by William Goldman, it's a polished, old-fashioned suspense picture. Solid if unremarkable, it coasts on Eastwood's steady craft and a strong supporting cast including Gene Hackman.
