Seconds


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: No

Kind of a trippy movie. Director John Frankenheimer gets his paranoia on with a mysterious organisation that is like some crazy form of voluntary witness protection. 70's paranoid thrillers are awesome and Frankenheimer was making them well before that.

Rock Hudson is someone I haven't really registered with on film. I think I've seen him in one or two things before but never put the face to a name, so good to finally note who he is.

Scenes tend to move much slower than we're used to today. And there seems to be a bit of filler here and there. But I do like the set up and the rather dark ending. Good stuff.
