I saw "The Deadly Tower" for the first time it aired on television many years ago. I saw it a bunch of times after that when it was repeated. Today was the first I watched it in years. It's excellent. It's edge-of-your-seat stuff. Kurt Russell does a nice job playing the sniper. He doesn't have much dialogue. The rifle does his talking. The rest of the cast is also very good with the stand outs being Richard Yniguez and Ned Beatty. Yniguez gives a terrific performance. He should have nominated for an Emmy. There isn't a lot of music in "The Deadly Tower". Just the sounds of gun shots. That adds a lot tension to the movie. "The Deadly Tower" come out during the golden age of made-for-tv movies and it's one of the best.
