Twilight Man (1995)

One of my all time favorites.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Man, I really like Dean Stockwell and Tim Matheson. They're both terrific actors and always put in a good performance. So how did they get roped into doing this turkey? Well, it beats doing a bad farce at the Burt Reynolds dinner theater in Florida, I guess.To be fair, the second half of the movie picks up considerably as Matheson does a good job playing the man on the run. But you have to get past the really unlikely beginning in which a genius computer hacker targets Matheson's character and seems to be able to manipulate his entire life. Not buying it at all.So credit director Craig Baxley for doing what he can to make things exciting and interesting. Unfortunately, the script dooms "Twilight Man" from the start to its embarrassingly bad ending where Stockwell and Matheson have their final face off. You have to take a quantum leap in logic for it to be believable and make sense.

Twilight Man is a very good film that has a good cast which includes Tim Matheson, Dean Stockwell, L. Scott Caldwell, Joel Polis, Yvette Nipar, Georgann Johnson, Katherine La Nasa, Leslie Neale, Zachary McLemore, Jim Grimshaw, Rick Warner, Michael Harding, Andrew Masset, Desiree Marie Velez, Amy Parrish, Keith Flippen, and Jeffrey Pillars. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Matheson and Stockwell are really excellent in this film. I thought that they performed good. The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is very good by Gary Chang and good directing by Craig R. Baxley. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Tim Matheson, Dean Stockwell, L. Scott Caldwell, Joel Polis, Yvette Nipar, Georgann Johnson, Katherine La Nasa, Leslie Neale, the rest of the cast in the film, Thrillers, Mysrery, Dramas, and interesting Action films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

!!!! SPOILERS !!!!Nice to see some of the comments on this page point out that TWILIGHT MAN falls apart if you think about it too much . I`m amazed that more people haven`t pointed out the ridiculous amount of plot holes since this one very dumb movie Tim Matheson plays Jordan Cooper whose home is under secret survillence by Hollis Dietz ( Dean Stockwell ) who has managed to hack into every aspect of Cooper`s life and there`s no explanation as to how a computer hacker managed to get all these hidden cameras into Cooper`s home , in fact it`s insinuated that if you`re a computer expert you can hack into an electric alarm clock and turn it into a close circuit TV . Wow Bill Gates must know the ins and outs of my life in that case So any way Cooper goes on the run after being falsely accused of murder with Dietz on his trail and we`re treated to more and more unlikely events and dialogue one example being when Cooper needs information from a woman whose husband experienced the same thing she says " I`m sure you`re a very nice young man " . Young man ? I looked up Mastheson`s profile on this site and he was born in 1947 which makes him 49 years old when this movie was made which is hardly young . I guess the producers had a much younger actor in mind for the lead but no one bothered to modify the dialogue after Matheson was cast . There`s also a ridiculous plot twist later one in the scene where Cooper spots a photograph of a woman who turns out to be his mother . The script is full of these unlikely coincidences , but perhaps the most unlikely event is when Cooper meets a woman on a train which leads to them getting a room together ( We`d all holiday in America if its women were that sociable ) and she asks him if he really killed his girlfriend . Cooper says he didn`t and she believes him - Until news reports claim Cooper may be a serial killer and it`s only then she phones the police which led me to ask why she thought he was innocent of one murder but not several others ? So we`ve got a dumb movie that is obviously inspired by THE FUGITIVE . I didn`t like this movie at all due to umpteen unexplained occurances

This movie is well-edited, with plenty of atmosphere and great camera shots; unfortunately, you could drive a truck through the loopholes in the script. My 11 yr. old spotted a glaring inconsistency right away...which tells you something. The female lead lets the bad guy into her apartment; "Why is she doing that?!" my kid demands. "Because she doesn't know what he looks like," I respond (being the non-observant, gullible mom that I am). "Yes, she does! He was the Cable Guy!" So I'm left realizing that I would probably let the bad guy in, too. Sigh. I stayed with this movie until the end, and kinda enjoyed it. But I wouldn't watch it again. Not unless I had my kid around to save me from bad plot devices.
