Black Sunday is a boring, banal film that is extremely disappointing due to the pedigree.
When you see names like Robert Shaw, Ernest Lehman, John Frankenheimer and John Williams; you are usually inclined to believe the picture has potential.
Robert Shaw gives a strong performance,unlike Bruce Dern who is very over the top at times and his entire character feels artificial. This film is one of Frankenheimer's weakest and if you didnt see their names you would never suspect Lehman or William's were attached.
The movie is far too long,which is common among those derived from books, and sputters along never throughly building any tension and ends with a predictable and disappointing climax.
