"I truly enjoyed this dramatic science fiction movie. Christopher Walken plays the role perfectly as a lonely but powerful man who can predict the future. Martin Sheen plays the role with relish of a maniacal and manipulative political figure. I was drawn to the screen waiting for each moment of the story to unfold."

"This is a great movie. A fictional thriller that sadly has felt a lot more topical since the last election cycle"

Ian Morris

"It started out pretty good, but I got a bit bored in the middle. "

Jane Young

"Absolutely love this movie! Christopher Walken in his prime! Known as a scifi actor by the time this arrived! And whatever movie he is in he plays well! The series of this show is good as well!"

"Love Stephen King movies and books"

Krista Abbott

"Don't avoid this movie simply because it is labeled a horror film and science fiction. It really isn't. Instead it is a great thriller. Christopher Walken makes this movie! "

Rick Meadows

"This 1983 movie, based on a Stephen king work, is underrated. (It was good enough that a TV series used its premise.). Has a 90% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Christopher Walken gives his second best performance (after Deer Hunter) and should have won an Oscar for it."
