Leader of the Pack

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2006)

I've watched this film a dozen or so times, but recently saw it again for the first time in a long while.
Having seen many action films in the intervening years, it struck me how much better this film is than almost all of them. It is intelligent, with good performances and excellent pacing, and you feel a real emotional connection with the main characters, even (oddly enough) the Terminator.
The action is hugely exciting, even when you know the outcome, but the special effects are of particular note. The quality and restricted quantity stands as a prime example of they should be used, and they still look great 15 years after the films original release. Well, except for Arnie's arm-in-a-sock goof.
IF haven't seen this film: where have you been? Rent it today!
