I can tell you right now that "thriller' isn't a great word for "The Morning After". Its virtues certainly don't lie in the problematic script and uneven pacing. It's mostly the performances that are involving. The cast here is top-notch; Raul Julia, (I mean c'mon), Jeff Bridges in an unusual role, and Jane Fonda uniquely memorable as a has-been actress.
What's fascinating is what Sidney Lumet does with the warehouse district of L.A., transforming it from smoggy industry to pastel-rich arthouse. Now, that's something.
6/10
