Night Moves - Criterion Collection Blu-Ray

Arthur Penn's gripping neo-noir recreates the hard-boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman exudes world-weary cynicism as a private detective whose search for an actress's missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) takes him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he becomes embroiled in a sordid family drama and an ominous conspiracy that he can barely comprehend. Supported by Alan Sharp's genre-bending screenplay and Dede Allen's elliptical editing, the recklessly labyrinthine Night Moves is a seminal work of post-Watergate cinema —a silent scream of existential dread and moral decay whose legend has only grown with time.OR
