Reviews
Meyer makes a fine directorial debut, pacing the film for optimal suspense despite some obvious holes in the script.
A delightful, entertaining trifle of a film that shows both the possibilities and limitations of taking liberties with literature and history.
Underrated classic mixing H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper. Stylish, even the music.
After nearly two hours the tension has evaporated, and all that's left is a curdle of jokes and brutality.
This cinematic oddity is nonetheless a true guilty pleasure.
A movie that's as sweet as it is clever, and never so clever that it forgets to be entertaining.
Terrific little time-travel romantic thriller with three outstanding performances.
Full of potential smarts, failed intrigue and a dated survey of the 20th century.
A wonderful concoction. H.G. Wells vs. Jack the Ripper, the time machine, it all works.
Writer Nicholas Meyer's 1979 directorial debut is probably still his best film.
