...been there and gone there/ I've lived there and bummed there/ I've spilled there, I gave there/" Townshend sings, and there are few rock musicians who can make that kind of claim and make it stick, fewer yet who can do it with such a feverish beauty. There can be no question: Townshend is one of the true life forces of rock music. Empty Glass is a promise fulfilled and renewed, most likely in perpetuity...
...relentless daily pounding of dismal news drives deeper the public's conviction that the economy is in a profound and morose crisis. Feverish inflation, previously a rare malady limited primarily to wartime, has become chronic. Price spurts once associated with profligate banana republics are now common to North America and Western Europe and threaten the foundations of democratic societies.

...final slaughter is heightened not only by its verisimilitude, but by the movie's one extraordinary performance. A young actor named Powers Boothe captures all the paranoia, sexual magnetism, hysteria, rage and even intelligence of "Dad" Jim Jones. His final incantations to the dyingdelivered in a feverish but strangely disembodied voicecreate a more deathly mood than all the corpses piling up onscreen. If Writer Tidyman had only matched Boothe's talent with a complexly written role, Guyana Tragedy would be as notable as drama as it is as ratings gambit...
