After an excellent beginning, the craven script (based on DF Jones' novel Colossus) develops cold feet, injects some tiresome comic relief, and gradually begins to drag the whole thing down.

The movie is full of marvelous, absurd dialogue.

A crisp, well-crafted movie that achieves its effects by calmly stating the facts, with the bare minimum of histrionics.

Nov 16, 2011Early 70s cold war story concerning Colossus a computer put in place to take control of every desision in event of first strike, they go public, then the ussr have their own version, the two start talking and next thing cause a bit of trouble, Colossus then controls the country, but in a silly way in this film, with some bad moments seen here, a funny scene involvinjg the creator of colossus( Colossus wants him seen every moment so creator invents love interest in his assistent, it ends up with a full on date at house so finally they can be alone and talk about colossus, its all silly but its fun,scott g Super Reviewer
