Man, I really like Dean Stockwell and Tim Matheson. They're both terrific actors and always put in a good performance. So how did they get roped into doing this turkey? Well, it beats doing a bad farce at the Burt Reynolds dinner theater in Florida, I guess.
To be fair, the second half of the movie picks up considerably as Matheson does a good job playing the man on the run. But you have to get past the really unlikely beginning in which a genius computer hacker targets Matheson's character and seems to be able to manipulate his entire life. Not buying it at all.
So credit director Craig Baxley for doing what he can to make things exciting and interesting. Unfortunately, the script dooms "Twilight Man" from the start to its embarrassingly bad ending where Stockwell and Matheson have their final face off. You have to take a quantum leap in logic for it to be believable and make sense.
