Shall I mention Val Kilmer.....?

Rating: Null/10 (23 January 2000)

Yes, I think I will. How such an otherwise shocklingly-bad actor can be so fantastic in this, totally puzzles me. It is quite simply the most brilliant, cool, convincing, scene-stealing performance you will ever see. But that's enough gushing.
It's not just Val though - Russell, Elliot, Biehn, Booth, and even Jason Priestly are all very very good too, the film is beautifully shot, the script is great, score spot-on and it all moves along at a swift, exciting pace.
Of course, paying such a cast must have taken a hefty whack out of the budget, leaving very little money for costumes and the like. Which is the only reason I can find for Michael Rooker's outfit - I'm not sure reusing Chevy Chase's gear from The Three Amigos was such a good idea....
That aside, this is absolutely fantastic. Just buy it.
