The Fury (1978)


 

A former CIA agent uses the talents of a young psychic to help retrieve his telekinetic son from terrorists, who want to use his mental powers for evil.

From memory: Although the supernatural story doesn't quite convince or make much sense, for that matter, this thriller is fast-paced and exciting and offers some quite spectacular set pieces.

Halliwell*: "Flashy, kaleidoscopic nonsense which never even begins to make sense but is used as the basis for the director's showing-off, which is occasionally worth a glance for those with hardened stomachs."

Maltin***: "Stylish trash...Bloody and violent - the ultimate litmus test for those who prefer form over content."
