Chase thriller about a smug extortionist who bombs rollercoasters merely to show that he means business and who is credulously portrayed as a man of almost superhuman cunning and resource. He appears at a hotel room door in a busboy outfit, wheels in a cart of complimentary food, and plants a magnetic mike inside a lampshade -- God only knows how he conjured up any of these props. The various amusement parks are gaily colorful, and the front-seat rollercoaster rides, lifted from This Is Cinerama, are effectively stomach-churning. The characterizations, though, are not the deepest -- Timothy Bottoms's mad bomber has a taste for cotton candy, and George Segal's public safety inspector would like to quit smoking, and that's about it. With Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda; directed by James Goldstone. (1977) — Duncan Shepherd
