Clint Eastwood wisely chose a strong, simple thriller for his first film as a director (1971), and the project is remarkable in its self -

Dimension continues to impress with its
dedication to providing a bursting special features package, including a nicely self -
effacing (if mildly deluded) commentary from director Lussier and screenwriter Joel Soisson.
