Save the Tiger

About This Movie

Save the Tiger is a gritty exploration of a businessman caught in the crossfire of moral dilemmas and professional pressures. Avildsen captures this raw atmosphere, pulling you into the character's psyche over just two days. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection, but hits hard when it needs to. Jack Lemmon’s performance is striking, conveying a deep sense of desperation and conflict as his life crumbles around him. The film’s themes of integrity versus survival resonate, especially in the context of the 70s business landscape. Not a lot of flashy effects – it’s all about the characters and their choices, which makes it stand out in a sea of more commercial releases from the same era.
