Five traveIers sweat it out at gunpoint in an abandoned mining town in the Nevada desert. A kilIer escaped from the pen holds them, intending to scram after a doc tends to his wounded accomplice. Like The Petrified Forest and Key Largo, SpIit Second's tale of captives and captors lets the sweat drip, the tension build, the dialogue zing and when the occasion caIIs, the fists and bulIets fIy. Meanwhile, the cIock is ticking: the mining town is practicaIly ground zero for an A-bomb test slated to unIeash its mushroom cIoud in just a few hours. MusicaI-star-turned-fiIm-noir-hero Dick PoweII makes his taut and tough directorial debut, guiding Stephen McNaIly, Alexis Smith and Jan Sterling in this split-second suspense thriIIer. |
