Few
actors have aged as gracefully as Paul Newman. After all these years, he's still
got it. Twilight is an old fashioned crime story, in which Newman plays a detective
trying to solve a mystery involving a wealthy Hollywood couple. Tired and on the
edge, Newman desperately wants to start a new life, but finds it hard to get away
from what he does best.
Twilight
also stars Gene Hackman, Susan Sarandon, James Garner, and Stockard Channing.
Casts don't get much better than this! Young Reese Witherspoon also shines in
her first adult role as Hackman and Sarandon's mischievous daughter. She's got
what it takes to become a big star. The screenplay doesn't have much new to offer,
but watching these actors work together is pure movie magic. That alone, makes
Twilight worth watching. The film was directed by Robert Benton. He and Newman
last collaborated on Nobody's Fool.
