Classic Independent Film

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2002)

There`s not much unsaid about THE TERMINATOR since everyone`s mentioned it being the best genre film of the 80`s though no one seems to have spotted a couple of minor plot holes... 1 ) Reese mention`s he was born after the holocaust , but he`s able to drive a car no problem. Seems the machines of the future will still allow humans driving lessons . That`s kind of them 2 ) Reese has his hands cuffed behind his back. Even if he gets the keys for the handcuffs how is he able to unlock them on his own ?
But apart from that there`s little to criticize. Arnie has never given a better performance , Michael Biehn comes across very well as the all American hero and amazingly never became a major Hollywood star , and James Cameron shows what can be done on a relatively small budget. Does anyone feel that Cameron should have stuck to this type of film making ?
