It is a brilliantly conceived, ruthlessly orchestrated assault on our homeland that no intelligence analyst could ever foresee-or stop. But when a nearby nuclear plant is attacked, and then another, in a matter of days, Mahegan knows it's no coincidence. When he's assigned the task of locating the geologist, he can't help but wonder if her abduction is connected to the fracking magnate he's pursuing. The seasoned operative is on a personal mission of vengeance, tracking down his mother's killer at a drilling site in North Carolina. It is the first stage of a large-scale domestic attack that few Americans could imagine-or survive. Abducted less than twenty-four hours upon her return from Afghanistan, Cassidy's disappearance from a Fort Bragg compound is more than a security breach.

In Three Minutes to Midnight, he delivers a terrifyingly plausible scenario ripped from the headlines-and the ultimate test for his hero, Jake Mohegan. Bush, Glenn Beck, and the bestselling masters of international intrigue. Tata have earned the praise and respect of President George W. I highly recommend this film it does not glamorize the story, and while it may not be completely accurate, it rings true, and portrays a life many artists may wish for, until they get it.Bristling with suspense, action, and thrilling authenticity, the novels of Brigadier General A. It shows the schizophrenic nature of NY Lutece, a homeless person sleeping outside, a man selling stuffed animals on the street, and Bruno Bischofsberger(Hopper) who mistakes Basquiat for a homeless person, trying to clean the windows on his Mercedes. The NY street sequences are realistic, It is not glamorous (though the accompanying jazz music is). The scenes with Claire Forlani are also effective, Basquiat's some-time girlfriend, we see her as a waitress, then a junkie, then a cleaned-up version, going to Columbia. The visuals are also noteworthy, while an earlier review critiqued the surfboarding sequence, I find that a preferable segue to Basquiat's need to escape apparently he owned a good deal of property in Hawai'i and spent time there as well. There is one scene where he is beaten up so two street people can take steal a "SAMO" inscription on a piece of metal. An artist who rose too fast, was used and discarded- apparently in real life Basquiat had a tendency to be generous, and gave away many of his paintings. Keeping in mind that Basquiat was under age 30 when he died, this story is credible. The only annoying performance was Parker Posey, as gallery owner Mary Boone, who perhaps portrayed this person too close to the mark. An amusing cameo with Christopher Walken as a James Lipton character a pretentious interviewer. That aside, the film also has some interesting cameos, David Bowie as Warhol is excellent, Dennis Hopper as the Zurich art dealer, Bruno Bischofsburger is very believable. Certainly, if one believes even half of what is written about the NY art world- it cannot have been a forgiving place. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps in real life this was one of the sources of his insecurities, and reason for his drug addiction. Not just another story of fame and its vices, however because the film does NOT show his life as glamorous, indeed once he has "made it" we still see him dining at Lutece, people critiquing, being unaccepting of him as a person. Apparently he and his father were estranged, until he became famous. Jeffrey Wright is very understated, but believable as Basquiat. Granted, the film is a bit abstruse, and some viewers have complained about the music tracks (actually Basquiat's own music from his band) but it does serve to show the disaffected life of an artist, who seemed to gain fame, money, and fair-weather friends, despite himself. Of Jean Michel Basquiat and the art world of the 80's. ![]()
