Sad is a mild description of this movie. Try depressing, wrist-slashing existential despair - a much better description. Also, oddly enough, dull in the way only art films can be dull. But Nimoy looks great! Lots of it are best watched without the sound turned up.
It's the Vic Morrow part that surprises me, even more than Leonard being in it. I never heard of "Deathwatch" before. Too bad they didn't at least drag it out of the closet to put it on DVD. Bet there'd be quite a bit of interest in it *now*.
I'm amazed it's not out on DVD. OK, it is an incredibly depressing, existential angst, slooooow art-house movie - but that's no disqualification. ;-) There's movies out on DVD that have a much smaller potential audience - why not bring this one out? There may be some legal issues; that's often the case when something hasn't been released. Look at how long it took to bring UNCLE out. (I'm a happy owner of the complete UNCLE series in that nifty attache case box...!)
