Movie Review

1b01font00Director Alan Morgan's latest effort 01i00The Ticking Bomb02i00 is not worth the price of admission. Despite Bruce Burton's draw and plenty of highly charged chases and tense moments, the plot developed here is weak, and the supporting actors dull. The novel, not surprisingly, was far better, but the screenplay does not take advantage of its unusual plot twists. At least the title is right: one is too aware of the ticking of one's watch before leaving the theater, and that, all in all, is a bomb.02font02b02br

0 It's not me, it's the reviewer who mentioned that the actors were dull (BAD). Then, how could you choose A? How could you say that he didn't complain about acting? 0-

00 A and D can be confused, at least (as he doesn't talk explicitly about all actors, but about the supporting actors), so perhaps I was too critical of the OP. Sorry. 0-

0It's a poor question.02br
02br
00In saying that the supporting actors were dull, he was, in my opinion, making a complaint about their acting. That one line covers both the supporting actors and the acting in the question's four possible answers. And the reviewer goes on at lenght at how bad the plot is, so that's covered. And then he also says it's not worth the price of ad
