Seconds - John Frankenheimer


This was a difficult film to get hold of but after watching it I am glad I did try so hard. It is a science fiction film based upon the idea that people can get another chance at life by having intense plastic surgery. Starring Rock Hudson, the film gets off on a pretty boring note, but once he enters the Comapany it starts to pick up.

Now the twist at the end is not particularly surprising as I guessed it, but it was still a twist and worked very well. Parts of the film (the grape stomping scene) was so surreal it reminded me of Juliet and the Spirits which I have viewed before.

Overall this film gets a 6 out of 10, because it was good and interesting but did not give the punch which I would of liked.
