Suspenseful movie though sometimes confusing and cold thriller with a top-drawer cast
Action movie in Peckinpah style with tension , intrigue , thrills , gushing blood and violence . The one weekend of the year you won’t want to miss. The host of an investigative news spectacle (Rutger Hauer,first major character in a Hollywood movie played by Dutch actor) is assigned a dangerous mission As TV show hosted by television journalist John Tanner is called “Face to Face” and he is convinced by a CIA operative (John Hurt was second billed) that the friends (Chris Sarandon , Dennis Hooper , Craig T Nelson) and wives (Helen Shaver ,Cassie Yates) he has invited to a weekend party are Russian spies from a secret organization . The name of the Soviet spy network was “Omega”.

This actioner and suspenseful movie tells a convoluted and complicated tale of vendetta , espionage and treason . Interesting but slightly boring spy film , including an overly complex and confusing script , even though at times it is admittedly engrossing . The picture was made and released about eleven years after its source novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum had been first published in 1972 . Sam Peckinpah was fired as director during post-production. Others were Convoy and Ride the High County . When he refused to re-edit Osterman weekend after it was screened for a test audience and met with a confused and extremely mixed reaction. Producers took over the editing with the assistance of the editor , drastically altering opening and ending sequences. Mediocre and dark cinematography by John Coquillon , in fact , the picture involved a considerable amount of filming at night. It was filmed at a 1950s ranch located in upper Mandeville Canyon in the Hollywood Hills , it was a property once owned by Robert Taylor and has been frequently been known by the names the “Taylor Estate” . Anti-climatic soundtrack by Lalo Schifrin composed by means by synthesizer . Director Don Siegel, long time friend and mentor to Sam Peckinpah, recommended Lalo Schifrin as the film’s composer. Schifrin had scored five of Siegel’s movies ; composer Lalo Schifrin had to sit by Sam Peckinpah’s sick bed in order to spot the film and decide which scenes did or did not need music.

Final film of director Sam Peckinpah. The picture was also Peckinpah’s big “comeback movie”, it was his first in five years, his last film having been at the time Convoy back in 1978 . The movie is also Peckinpah’s only feature film of the 1980s decade . The production shoot for this film ran for fifty-four days . Director Sam Peckinpah was in ill-health throughout the shoot as the long-term toll of his drug and alcohol abuse suggested to many in the production that he was dying. Peckinpah after beginning as a writer , was soon involved in TV Westerns at the peak of his popularity ; shooting series just like ¨¨The Westener¨, ¨Gunsmoke¨and most popular ¨Rifleman¨, moving into films by 1961 when he made nice impression with ¨The deadly companions¨, ¨Ride the High Country¨ , Major Dundee¨ and his best picture ,Wild Bunch¨ . After that , he concentrated on nail-biting and tougher-than-tough action films just like ¨The getaway¨, ¨Convoy¨, ¨the ¨killer elite¨ and this last movie ¨Osterman weekend¨ . The final title as violent and nice as anyone the Western or wartime genre has given us .

A Good, But Complicated Plot of Revenge, in Times of Cold War
Near to the seventh annual meeting to celebrate their graduation and friendship, the successful anchor of a television network John Tanner (Rutger Hauer) is convinced by CIA director Maxwell Danforth (Burt Lancaster) and his agent Lawrence Fassett (John Hurt) that his best friends belong to a Soviet Union organization called Omega. The CIA installs cameras and microphones everywhere in his house to monitor Bernard Osterman (Craid T. Nelson), Richard Tremayne (Dennis Hopper) and Joseph Cardone (Chris Sarandon). A complicated and very evil plot is disclosed along the weekend. Yesterday I saw “The Osterman Weekend” maybe for the fourth time, but now on DVD, and I still like it. However, with the end of the Cold War and the present state-art of communication, this story has become dated, and lost a great part of its impact. However, in 1983, it was ahead of time, criticizing the media through television. The Double Commemorative Edition DVD features a second disc, with the documentary “From Alpha to Omega: The Making of ‘The Osterman Weekend’ (2004)”. This documentary was released in 2004, and presents a complete dossier about this movie. My vote is seven.
