I really don't know what's happening to Hollywood -I am not even american-, but there are some very good actors and directors these days. Movies in general could be much better and original.
And hell yes, Telly Salvalas rules this one! -

FREE O.J. FREE O.J. FREE O.J.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to see O.J. on screen is to see the face of god! a finer athleet /actor/ nfl corespondant/ businessman/ fantastic dancer/dad/ freind to all/and most importantly a truly wonderful humanbieng..The point is if you don't love O.J. you don't love yourself and keeping "the JUICE" out of you're life is a life mistake in witch you will hurt only yourself. Life is just to short no to invite O.J. in to it

"He is no sam l jackson , denzel washington jamie fox of even will smiththey are great actors. "
I think O.J. is right up there with those guys . plus he also ran for 2.000 yards in on season. lets see Jamie foxx do that. Denzel does all his acting without being able to fly through an airport. none of those guys had rickets as a child like young O.J. suffered with.

He cannot compare to any of them in any type of acting role.
I suppose Mr t, can be put up there with morgan freeman.
Or Mike tyson compared to Sidney poitier.
The fact that he can run those yards has no merit on his acting ability, you must of missed his trialshis bad acting skills were on show for all to see then.
I do know one thing though, he can drive a bronco well, but hey that is just pure speculation
don't point that beard at me, it might go off Groucho marx -

well 1st off Mr. T is a good actor but he is no O.J.
and Sidney Poitier has to be the most overated ham actor ever to come out of hollywood. he was Black and good looking at the right time. when hollywood finaly felt ( as way over due as it was) they needed a black leading man .
Sidney happend to be in the right place at the right time go back and watch his movies and you will see that he is no better than O.J.

While I agree with most of you, and have championed this film for decades when most reactions to my nonsense are "What? A space movie with OJ? Are you kidding?", there is one major flaw in this little gem. Hyams' obvious nostalgia for the classical Hollywood style (which was on a major nostalgia surge during the '70s) jars badly with the excellent part of the picture - the '70s government conspiracy.
There are moments in the film that rival and even surpass the grim paranoia generated in The Conversation, The Parallax View and All the President's Men, and I feel the film as a whole is better that the totality of Three Days of the Condor. However, Hyams' screenplay struggles with a self-imposed [apparently] tendency to pay corny homage to newspaper films from the '30s. Karen Black's only purpose in the film is to have two conversations with Elliott Gould, where they rattle off mile-a-minute world-weary self-deprecating witticisms at one another (his dialogue with his editor on both occassions is riddled with the stuff, too). A film which contains such a stunning, depressing, "I no longer trust my government" moment as the final moments of screen time for Sam Waterston doesn't need fan-boy generated Katherine Hepburn screwball comedy dialogue butted up against it.
OK. But seriously, this film needs a higher rating. It deserves no less than a 7.
"Rampart: Squad 51."
I gave it a 7.
