!!!! SPOILERS !!!!
Nice to see some of the comments on this page point out that TWILIGHT MAN falls apart if you think about it too much . I`m amazed that more people haven`t pointed out the ridiculous amount of plot holes since this one very dumb movie
Tim Matheson plays Jordan Cooper whose home is under secret survillence by Hollis Dietz ( Dean Stockwell ) who has managed to hack into every aspect of Cooper`s life and there`s no explanation as to how a computer hacker managed to get all these hidden cameras into Cooper`s home , in fact it`s insinuated that if you`re a computer expert you can hack into an electric alarm clock and turn it into a close circuit TV . Wow Bill Gates must know the ins and outs of my life in that case
So any way Cooper goes on the run after being falsely accused of murder with Dietz on his trail and we`re treated to more and more unlikely events and dialogue one example being when Cooper needs information from a woman whose husband experienced the same thing she says " I`m sure you`re a very nice young man " . Young man ? I looked up Mastheson`s profile on this site and he was born in 1947 which makes him 49 years old when this movie was made which is hardly young . I guess the producers had a much younger actor in mind for the lead but no one bothered to modify the dialogue after Matheson was cast . There`s also a ridiculous plot twist later one in the scene where Cooper spots a photograph of a woman who turns out to be his mother . The script is full of these unlikely coincidences , but perhaps the most unlikely event is when Cooper meets a woman on a train which leads to them getting a room together ( We`d all holiday in America if its women were that sociable ) and she asks him if he really killed his girlfriend . Cooper says he didn`t and she believes him - Until news reports claim Cooper may be a serial killer and it`s only then she phones the police which led me to ask why she thought he was innocent of one murder but not several others ?
So we`ve got a dumb movie that is obviously inspired by THE FUGITIVE . I didn`t like this movie at all due to umpteen unexplained occurances
