Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

madsgormlarsen Don't waste your time on this movie - go and watch "Nobody's fool" instead. It's the same author Richard Russo, the same actor Poul Newman, and the same director Robert Benson. And with these the same ingredients - you get an awesome movie in "Nobody's fool" and also and of course read the world class book the movie "Nobody's fool" it made from .Richard Russo a Pulitzer Prize winning author co wrote the script (that was really the reason why I wanted to see Twilight in the first place). I like all the actors in Twilight, it's an all star dream team cast. Still Twilight (1998) an amazingly average movie.The only interesting thing about this Twilight (1998) - is that it makes you wonder - how can so many people that are so gifted get it so wrong? So much talent wasted.

Python Hyena Twilight (1998): Dir: Robert Benton / Cast: Paul Newman, Gene Hackman, James Garner, Susan Sarandon, Reese Witherspoon: Paul Newman plays a retired detective who tracks down an actor's daughter. Couple years later he is staying with the cancer burdened actor and his manipulating wife. Soon he is involved in a mystery of murder, blackmail and incidents of the past. Interesting setup has loopholes when factoring ages of particular characters. Director Robert Benton does a superb job. Principal actors are on target including Newman whose career is hindered after a gun shot wound. Now he ventures into territory that is forbidden and dangerous. Gene Hackman plays his friend with cancer who sets up the investigation by hiring Newman only to discover things that he wished he hadn't. Susan Sarandon plays the seductive wife who tempts Newman and toys with the mystery. James Garner also appears in the investigation and although the role isn't as broad as it should be, it is pivotal. Reese Witherspoon is featured as the teenager whom Newman is assigned to locate. Convincing her go go along results in a leg injury and a lot of cynicism. The purpose is to recapture the feeling of old film noir and it rightfully claims this through superb veteran actors who are well into their twilight years. Fine plot twists carry it into the limelight while the narrative heads for a dark tunnel. Score: 9 / 10

gavin6942 A retired ex-cop and private detective (Paul Newman) who lives with a rich actor (Gene Hackman) who is dying from cancer and his actress wife (Susan Sarandon) gets mixed up in murder when he is asked to deliver blackmail money.In retrospect, this film is notorious for having a young, topless Reese Witherspoon and a Liev Schreiber at the early point in his career. But ignore these things, because they do not matter (even if Witherspoon likes to pretend she forgot she was in this movie).Just check out this cast: Gene Hackman and Paul Newman. The rest are merely a bonus, because these are two of the greatest old white men in acting (at least at the time).

Kieran Green Not the terrible 'Teen Vampire' nonsense but an excellently acted 'Noir' with Paul Newman as an over the hill retired ex-cop and former private eye who resides with a actor friend (Gene Hackman) who is dying from cancer and his seductive actress wife (Susan Sarandon) Newman is requested by Hackman to run an 'errand' unbeknown to him he becomes embroiled in murder. He stumbles into a mysterious 20 year old case which deals with the disappearance of Sarandon's former husband. 'Twilight' has an excellent cast, on top of having Hackman, Sarandon, theirs an appearance from James Garner, who also has shady dealings. Liev Schrieber and Reese Whitherspoon also appear the latter contributes a revealing nude scene at the beginning.
