Interesting Type of Thriller Movie

I found this movie to be pretty good for the most part. The story is unique with a Black September terrorist group attempt to use a blimp to attack a football stadium with a lot of people there. It build up really well throughout with the terrorist planning progress and the hero attempted to stop them. The movie have a couple of suspenseful moments in like and is thrilling to watch it. The characters are mostly alright for the most part, but the cast did a pretty good job in it. There are a couple of moments that either didn't make sense or some dumb decisions current characters made in it.The poster of the movie only happens near the climax of the movie. It's definitely the highlight of the movie with the heroes attempted to stop the blimp from reaching the stadium and is really suspenseful to watch it. I do like the way they mange to lure the blimp away from the stadium and towards the ocean. But the way the movie ends feels abrupt.I do think the movie is a interesting watch.

Another masterpiece thriller from John Frankenheimer

Black Sunday is another exemplary thriller film from the 1970s that can be put in the same class as THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123, JUGGERNAUT, and Roller-coaster. It's another feather in the cap for director John Frankenheimer, a directed who began his career shooting remarkable pictures like THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and ended it still making remarkable pictures like RONIN, and it's one of his strongest works.The plot is simple, a manhunt slightly reminiscent of DAY OF THE JACKAL. Ruthless Israeli agent Robert Shaw is on the trail of a couple of mad bombers who plan to attack the American Superbowl. The running time is lengthy and the first half slow, but as a slow burner this grips the attention throughout and it builds to large-scale greatness at the climax.Shaw is excellent, as always, and Bruce Dern and Marthe Keller make for suitably disturbed villains. The only thing dated here are the special effects, but that's irrelevant because the rest of the film is so well made and exciting. Black Sunday is a film that offers grittiness, harsh violence, suspense, strong acting, inventiveness, and fear in equal measure, and another great movie from a decade full of them.
