Amazon.com:
Unfairly dismissed by a number of critics, Two Minute Warning is an absorbing contemplation of the phenomenon of violence. Based on a novel by George LaFountaine, the story concerns an anonymous (and, until the very end, faceless) sniper perched above the scoreboard at a championship football game in Los Angeles. His lack of identity and unstated motivation is key to the film's air of cautionary fable, in which the killer's rage is one end of a continuum that includes many different kinds of violence among numerous characters: emotional withdrawal, police brutality, subtle racism, chips on various shoulders. Produced in 1976, the movie has all the hallmarks of the decade's vogue for disaster flicks: an ensemble cast, a web of story lines, and a lot of people contained in one place where something awful happens. But it is also something more: a successful exercise in plastic storytelling, a clever interweaving of a dozen discrete subplots with a mix of documentary and original action footage. The explosiveness of the football game itself becomes a refrain of ritualized mayhem in director Larry Peerce's patchwork film, but without beating us over the head with its metaphorical obviousness. Two Minute Warning may not be a great or classic work, but it is far more than the sum of its many parts and does leave a lasting impression. --Tom Keogh

Here's a movie for people who hate football. A psychopath with a high-powered rifle breaks into a huge L.A. stadium just before a championship game, and all hell breaks loose. Well, there's more to it than that. The real violence gets going toward the end of the game (hence the title). The film touches on a few of the personal stories of people watching the game.

Underrated 70s disaster movie with another all-star cast. The story is simple: there's a football playoff game in the 90,000+ capacity LA Coliseum and a sniper is on the loose. When the blimp-cam spots him, it's up to the stadium security chief (Charlton Heston) and the SWAT-team leader (John Cassavettes) to stop him before he starts shooting. Who is the sniper? What does he want? Who is the target?
The rest of the characters, predictably, exist to get blown away (or not) by the ... Read More

This film is a slow burner, with almost no action for nearly the entire running time, and then everything goes crazy at the eponymous two minute warning. It has a huge, ensamble cast, led by Heston and Cassavetes as the lead police. Almost every character gets a moment to shine, and when the bullets finally start flying there is a lot of tension as these characters run for cover.
For such a large cast and huge spectacle the film seems really small for a large portion of its running ... Read More

Although "Two-Minute Warning" is still an entertaining movie about a "situation" developing, when a madman prepares to shoot people in a stadium, the movie has some holes in it.
I won't spend too many words about its transfer on DVD, which is standard, but could have been taken better care of.
The holes I mentioned before, are mainly referred to the characters involved in this movie.
Except for some very general hints on who they all are, there is practically no ... Read More

Dont watch this movie looking for any deep meanings about why people act the way they do. This is an action adventure film that they used to call disaster movies in the 70's. Its fun from beginning to end ! Its a movie where you pop a bucket of popcorn , eat a candy bar ,drink a soda and loose yourself for a couple of hours! Enjoy! I did !
