This is Biehn's movie, not Arnold's

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 1999)

Why is it, that when people think about The Terminaor, they automatically think of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well I for one, do not see this as Arnold's movie. I see it as Michael Biehn's. Now don't get me wrong, I think that Arnold did one hell of a job as the terminator, but i know that Biehn's Kyle Reese, gets far less credit than he's supposed to.
This movie wasn't based on action, but rather plot, and acting. Michael Biehn gives a greater performance as Kyle Reese, than any of the actors did with their parts. We can see his tough character of the future trying to make it in the relatively calm world of the present. Kyle also gives the best lines in any of the terminator movies. We can forget one-liners and concentrate on Biehn's powerful speeches. Stuff like, "That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead." And, "Nobody get home. Nobody else comes through. It's just him...and me."
I especially like, "Why didn't you bring any weapons. Something more advanced. Don't you have any ray guns?" "You go naked. Something about the field being generated by living tissue. Nothing dead will go." "Why?" "I didn't build the ________ thing!!!"
I can't explain it, but for some reason, Michael Biehn is my favourite actor. He's played the best roles. Like Kyle Reese, Corporal Hicks in Aliens, Hirram Coffey in The Abyss, Johnny Ringo in Tombstone, and major roles in Navy seals, and The Rock. He's by far the best "soldier" style actor in Hollywood, and has one of the best portfolios in the business. Remember his name, for it's not as big as it should be. Michael Biehn.
