i seem to be in the minority here . i can not understand why thismovie isn not get the most enthusiastic review . sure and the plot have be visit again and again in book and moviesand tv ( include richard basehart mind be take over atleast 34 time in voyage to the bottom of the sea ) . do thatmatter so much . haven not we see save private ryan and a. i. before . do anyone criticize them as just another long day and or just another robot want to be human movie . the puppet master be expertly handle . the direction be tight andsuspense building . the early scene of the kid with the uforoadside attraction be clever . sutherland be great . the dialogueis realistic . this remain one of my favorite .
