Alex can remember nothing of the night before. In a panic, she tries to flee but is unable to get a flight out of Los Angeles, and short of cash, she hitches a ride with Turner Kendall (Jeff Bridges), a disabled former policeman

The thriller is always looking for something that is missing and never finds it.

As an alcoholic ex-actress, Jane Fonda gives a brilliant, Oscar-nominated peformance in Lumet's routine thriller set (for a change) in L.A.

It's worth watching once for Fonda and Bridges.

Sidney Lumet directs wearily; as a thriller, it's full of holes.

The film is lifted by an emotionally affecting performance by Jane Fonda.

Audience Reviews for The Morning After

Even a great filmmaker is not infalible, not when he has to work with a poor screenplay. The tone rambles, never decides if it is a comedy, a soap opera or a thriller. Performances by Jane Fonda, Jeff Bridges and the underused Raul Julia do some good to this ridiculous and predictible mess.

A good thriller from Lumet, a great director, and it has a great cast too. I really liked this movie.
