Two-Minute Warning (1976). A crazed sniper is set to kill spectators at an L.A. Coliseum football championship game and the police race against time to eliminate him.

This is kind of a fun premise, but it's realised in the dullest sort of way. You never get to know or like any of the characters which rob the film or any stakes or heft, and it really circles the same types of shots which makes it visually pretty dull too. It's a bummer, because the concept could make for a tight, fun action movie. This though is not that. 4/10.
