The standard for action flicks

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2017)

This is how an action flick should be done! And this just happened to be the flick that propelled Bruce Willis' career.
As one reviewer put it, these are three key points that every action film should have:
1. A sense of realism (meaning: the hero is only human and can get hurt)
2. Grit (messy, unpolished action, dirty people and LOTS of swearing)
3. R-rated violence (showing the audience what real weapons do to the human body)
This film had it all, and the outstanding performance by Willis was perfect.
A little fun fact for all you Willis fans: he was a bartender in NYC and gave a ride to a friend to an audition. While waiting for their audition to end, he got spotted and asked to audition - and got the part! The rest is history!
A perfect 10/10 from me!
