"The Incident" is a dark story, drama and crime picture set in New York City. Much of the story takes places on a late night subway ride when two hooligans run roughshod over the people in the last car of the train. This is hardly an entertaining film, and not very good as a mystery or crime film. It's a social film with a picture of inner city hooligans abusing people and threatening them with violence. It's also a good picture of how people can be cowered by fear.
The acting is very good by all of the cast, which includes some prominent names of the day. Among them are Jack Gilford, Thelma Ritter, Gary Merrill, Beau Bridges, and a young Ed McMahon. It's one of the first movies, outside of TV, for Martin Sheen. He co-stars as Artie Connors in the lead roles with Tony Musante as Joe Ferrone.
This isn't a film for families or anyone who wants some laughs or mystery. But, if one is training or interested in civil order or handling rowdy characters who threaten people or the peace, this might be a good film to watch. Those who live in the big city who watch this film will likely not be taking any late night subway rides.
