Warning Shot Audience Reviews

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
tlooknbill ...AND a LOT OF QUESTIONS since the entire plot hangs on a police detective investigating in his own defense for the ensuing trial for shooting in self defense a man who turned out to be a doctor in a black trench coat carrying a black case suspiciously running away from the detective giving chase during a foggy night stake out only to be cornered and what appears to be the doctor pulling a gun on him.If you don't watch this opening scene carefully you'll miss whether you saw a gun or wallet pulled from the doctor's coat because the weapon could not be found in the investigation.You'll never figure out to the very baffling and surprising end what happened to the gun and question your own mind if there ever was one in addition to wondering why the doctor would run away from a cop. To me it made no sense which made me follow along paying close attention throughout the entire movie's involved connect the dots investigation amid rather still good looking and well acted cameo's of Walter Pidgeon, Lilian Gish, George Sanders and a sexy, gorgeous Eleanor Parker.I was so blown away by the level of specifics and detail in the plot that I had to look up the author of the book this movie was based on which IMO makes the "Columbo" series look like a Hardy Boys mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
dbdumonteil This is MTV quality and it looks like an episode of a TV series ,which David Janssen 's presence reinforces ;who has forgotten "the fugitive" ? But it is thoroughly enjoyable,for there is a very good screenplay ,and an excellent suspenseful final scene in a pet cemetery.It's also helped by a stunning supporting female cast: Joan Collins as the elegant hot ex-wife,Stephanie Powers as the sympathetic nurse ,Eleanor Parker (only one scene)as the merry widow and to top it all, veteran silent age Lilian Gish ,whose career spans the whole century,as a spinster fond of herb teas ,dogs and nice doctors.Lilian Gish's character ,however,provides the low point of the screenplay:as she saw the cop in the courtroom ,why does she welcome him so warmly ?She must have recognized him and she says she hates that "assassin".That's just a minor detail ,it's really an entertaining movie .In the last part ,David Janssen becomes a real fugitive.
kikiloveslegwarmers What can I say. Just bought the DVD for the all-star cast. Out-dated story of a LA police detective who shoots a Beverly Hills doctor who he claims pulled a gun on him, but no one can find the gun. The rest of the movie shows the detective trying to prove he is not guilty, and that the well-respected doctor was really a bad-guy after all.Lots of well-known stars in the movie, but the standout is the Elenor Parker who looks very sexy and plays the part of a sexed-up, drunken widow to the tilt. Aside from that, and a few laughs regarding butter milk, this 1966 Who-Done-It is bested viewed on a rainy Saturday afternoon, the one which I'm having right now.
Catch-52 It's a definite cult classic - that's all that I can say. But it does have an incredible cast, filled with once and future stars. The direction is quite stylish, and the theme is still timely. In many ways, _Warning Shot_ is rather like a film-noir shot in color. Like DOA, there's the theme of one man against the entire world - and the forces of time, also. There is emphasis on his need to prove himself - because he is a man. Like all noirs, the actual plot is irrelevant, although Whit Masterson (Touch of Evil) did think up some good twists. It's the atmosphere that you take away with you from this one.
