In this slick political thriller, an emotionally disconnected, aesthetically refined master thief is out for one final score before retiring to his treasure-lined hideaway. But during a robbery at a mansion near Washington, he witnesses a bizarre sex murder involving the President of the United States.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"...Eastwood gutsily stages the extended opening slowly and methodically..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (02/14/1997)

"...[A] strong cast, lively rejoinders and moments of discreet panache....Mr. Eastwood's own performance sets a high-water mark for laconic intelligence and makes the star seem youthfully spry..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (02/14/1997)

"...Sleek and satisfying....Almost a drawing room thriller, unhurried and genteel but enlivened with suspense and surprising bursts of sly, even biting, humor..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (02/14/1997)

"...ABSOLUTE POWER is a tight, taut thriller with a twist....Eastwood does a difficult thing: He makes a thriller that is not upstaged by its thrills..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (02/14/1997)

Having read the book I thought the movie was worth the money---The story simplified was OK but not the novel. Eastwood and Culp are fine actors and the action was good. The change in protagonist was disappointing
