Finally something at least watchable.

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2018)

When I have done reviews for this site I normally end up slating most films as they are mostly turds that are not worth the bother. But finally here is something I actually enjoyed watching. OK it was still very Hollywood and Amercian with the guns, guns, killings, blowing things up and more guns, but it was a good film. I loved the 80's, especially the early 80's, the fashion and the music. I liked the way there was references to many other films within this film.
The creativity and effects were stunning, the story predictable, but it was a good fun film overall to watch, a bit of gem amongst the dire dross we have to put up with today.
I've never read the book to compare, but if you take this film at face value it's a great way to spend a chilly night in watching something decent.
