Pursuit (1972)

Directed by Michael Crichton
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM)

Cat-and-mouse thriller involving an FBI agent, a deranged politician and a booby trapped hotel room filled with enough nerve gas to kill over a million people in San Diego. A clock occasionally shows on the bottom of the screen, indicating the time left until detonation. It's never as good as you want it to be and dated, but an interesting look into the early mind of first-time director Crichton, whose next film was to be Westworld.
