"Rocket Gibraltar" might be a good instructional film for children to learn about dying, but as family entertainment it is marginal at best. Burt Lancaster spends much of his screen time looking like he is dead or actually being deceased. The supporting cast of his children mostly wastes some pretty good actors and actresses with the rather bland script. Bill Pullman is a struggling baseball pitcher, Kevin Spacey a struggling comic etc. etc. The grandchildren are a mixed bag and more or less cavort about on their bikes most of the time. Basically, until the Viking funeral this is pretty bland viewing. ..................... - MERK
