“…. With Jane Fonda heading the cast, it couldn't help but be a thriller with a very large social conscience….

“Bridges has drawn fine performances from his large, predominantly male cast…. And Fonda is downright terrific. The grande-dame mannerisms that marred her performance in "Coming Home" are gone: there's no sense of distance between her and Kimberly Wells, a "manufactured" media personality who blossoms under intense pressure. There's a new simplicity in her acting that impresses all the more because it isn't calculated to impress. It's a pleasure to watch a superb actress continually refining her art.”
