Mind-bending roller-coaster thru your mind

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2012)

I saw this when it came out in 1990, and at the time, it was a Sci-Fi film made exclusively with adults in mind, what a concept!
Paul Verhoeven spy thriller set in space is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable movies ever made. The action is terrific, the special-effects are excellent, and the characters (while not deep in scope) are nevertheless very interesting and help to keep the pace of the script tight. Ahnuld puts forth his best performance as an actor, Sharon Stone was never more sexy, Michael Ironsides essentially plays the "Ham Tyler" role he played in the mini-series V (in which he was fabulous), and Ronny Cox plays a great SOB bad guy. The visual appeal of the film is undeniable and the pace of the action make it a Thrill Ride of Your Life. You have to watch it more than once to catch everything!
One of Arnold's best!
