Few actors have aged as gracefully as Paul Newman. After all these years, he's still got it. Twilight is an old fashioned crime story, in which Newman plays a detective trying to solve a mystery involving a wealthy Hollywood couple. Tired and on the edge, Newman desperately wants to start a new life, but finds it hard to get away from what he does best.
Twilight also stars Gene Hackman, Susan Sarandon, James Garner, and Stockard Channing. Casts don't get much better than this! Young Reese Witherspoon also shines in her first adult role as Hackman and Sarandon's mischievous daughter. She's got what it takes to become a big star. The screenplay doesn't have much new to offer, but watching these actors work together is pure movie magic. That alone, makes Twilight worth watching. The film was directed by Robert Benton. He and Newman last collaborated on Nobody's Fool.
