Editorial Review:
Director Clint Eastwood's 1997 box-office hit stars himself as Luther Whitney, a highly skilled thief who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing the murder of a woman involved in a secret tryst with the U.S. president (played by Gene Hackman). Determined to clear his name, Whitney cleverly eludes a tenacious detective (Ed Harris) while investigating a corruption of power reaching to the highest level of government. Adapted by veteran screenwriter William Goldman from David Baldacci's novel, this thriller balances expert suspense with well-drawn characters and an intelligent plot that's just a pounding heartbeat away from real White House headlines. Absolute Power features the great Judy Davis in a memorable supporting role as the White House chief of staff who desperately attempts to cover up the crime. --Jeff Shannon

Absolute Eastwood 
2009-06-26 - It is always difficult to rate a movie based off a book, but taking the film at face value, it was very entertaining. Ed Harris seems a little out of place but the rest of the cast was spot on. It is always a joy to view an Eastwood film.
Riveting!! 
2009-03-26 - I listened to the book on tape and bought the movie. It follows it closely and is very exciting. Anything Clint Eastwood does is usually top-notch. Been a fan since "Rawhide" days.

Absolute Power, starring Clint Eastwood, is a well-cast, well-acted, fast-moving story. Good flick, one that can be seen again and again.
