Riveting, entertaining, smart thriller that works simultaneously as a disaster movie (and with a terrifying, plausible premise indeed) and as a battle of wits between two equally clever, determined men - on opposite sides of the law, but with a mutual admiration for each other. George Segal is engaging as the safety inspector and Timothy Bottoms is smooth as the "mad" bomber. There are some quite amazing camera acrobatics, as well. For me, this film joins "The Cassandra Crossing" in a short list of underrated 70s all-star thrillers that are actually much better than many of their over-hyped counterparts (such as "The Towering Inferno" and "Airport 1975"). See this one. (***)
