An intriguing conspiracy thriller about a faked Mars landing directed and co-written by Peter Hyams. The film has some really great dialogue and is highly engaging, with some decently developed characters. The mood of the film ranges from suspenseful to emotional (but mostly suspenseful). A drawn-out (but well-executed) plane/helicopter chase sequence, some really bad overly emotional slow-motion, and a lack of closure really mar the ending, but fortunately the worst of it comes only in the last minute and it's not nearly enough to ruin the film. The score by Jerry Goldsmith is really fantastic. Starring: Elliot Gould, James Brolin, OJ Simpson and quite a few more famous actors.
7/10
