Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
If this doesn't turn you against going to the dentist, nothing will. Terrifying, pulsating film w/Hoffman.

Rating: 3/4 --
If holes in plots bother you, Marathon Man will be maddening. But as well-crafted escapist entertainment, as a diabolical thriller, the movie works with relentless skill.

Filmmaker John Schlesinger delivers a slow-moving first half that admittedly requires a fair degree of patience from the viewer...

Schlesinger's stylish political thriller features Olivier as an old, nasty Nazi, in a splashy role that earned him Oscar nomination.

There is no classic film that captures the horror-of-human-history phenomenon more exemplarily.

Scheider looks great as the well-dressed cool guy and Olivier turns in his most notoriously frightening performance.

Product Description:
British director John Schlesinger (MIDNIGHT COWBOY), reteams with Dustin Hoffman for MARATHON MAN, a classic suspense thriller (based on the novel by William Goldman) rife with chase sequences, torture, and political intrigue. A landmark film that pushes the boundaries of audience squeamishness, MARATHON MAN features a powerful performance by Hoffman alongside equally stellar work by Sir Laurence Olivier and Roy Scheider. As a Columbia University graduate student, Babe Levy (Dustin Hoffman), spends his spare time running in marathons. However, he winds up running for his life when he inadvertently becomes entangled in an espionage plot. Babe's brother Doc (Scheider) is an American secret agent whom is killed by fierce Nazi fugitive, Szell (Olivier), who believes he stole a cache of diamonds, and Babe himself is kidnapped by the murderer. Excruciating scenes of dental torture follow, as Babe repeatedly risks his life trying to escape his captors.
