Greatest Ever!

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2003)

Well, what a boring plot. Can anyone survive the first 10 minutes?
Well if they do, they're in for a TREAT!
Not wishing to recount the tears I shed, nor the evidence of others having done the same, all I can say is: Give this a chance...
My forte is Terminator-2, Alien-3 kind-of-stuff, but I was completely blown away by the superiority of this film, both in terms of direction, acting and message.
The bluntness of the reality, courtesy UK 1984, may have been extremely difficult to cope with at the time, but - sorry - that's not something that is especially appealing when it comes to escapism for the 21st Century Lot.

If this generation is to be enticed to open its wallet in order to watch a flick, it expects a pick-u-up rather than let-u-down kind of experience.
Strangely, this film developed into a very potent p-u-u as it progressed, and having - collapsed on the sofa (strangely, accidentally my eyes hitting a piece of left-over tissue)- had time to go through it once more, I can only whole-heartedly recommend it.
It is simply a MARVELLOUS gem! My all time favourite!
