Critics consensus

“Absolute Power collapses under its preposterous plotting despite an all-star cast and Clint Eastwood's deft direction.”

RTWashington PostJun 25, 2020

Eastwood the director sets a pace so poky that grannies with walkers seem fleet in comparison. Of course, this makes the many plot holes and implausibilities all the more evident...

Jonathan Rosenbaum

RTChicago ReaderJun 25, 2020

Clint Eastwood as producer-director-star strikes out in a rather slack thriller that oddly recalls a couple of Hitchcock's lesser movies, To Catch a Thief and Topaz.

RTRolling StoneJun 25, 2020

Absolute Power is... fresh out of the clichés that reduce most thrillers to formula.

Absolute Power is an absolute treasure to those who love a well-told tale of greed and the lust for power.
