Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Rodrigo Amaro I'm not sure if today's generation know the real dimension action movies had in the 1980's, so I definitely suggest film-buff beginners to watch this movie to have a brief understanding of the impact they had back many years ago and still have in our culture. This was made along with the then upcoming "The Expendables 2" which gathered many huge action stars from the golden era like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Lundgren and many others, and that's the most reference any viewer can get. But, you really have to experience their old movies, the whole list: Rambo, Terminator, Die Hard, their sequels and other ventures.Here's the views of film historians, scholars, Stallone, Randy Couture, writer Steven E. De Souza and others about the impact of action films in the 1980's among the audience and Hollywood, both embracing it as a powerful weapon of entertainment, excitement and dreams with their explosions, guns, fights, blood, muscles and all. Many of the opinions shared reflect that the demand for action was so popular as being a reflection of the time, with the B-star turned into man-of-action-who-defeated Communism Ronald Reagan being the American president, leaving behind the numbness of the indecisive Carter of the late 1970's. The Reagan era was a pivotal part, sure, but I think the interviewees are overreacting a bit this aspect; before the 1980's action movies already existed and they were fine. I can only admit is that they got better and bigger. Successful formulas to engage the public were created (I loved the way they talked about "48 Hrs.") but a lot of crap came in that period as well (I don't need to mention those).The limited time (30 minutes) explores a few good titles and the reasons why audiences related with the lone heroes like John McClane, Rambo, John Matrix and Murtaugh/Riggs team; or the villains like The Terminator. It's the briefest brief of all, and that can be upsetting to hardcore film enthusiasts who love to know everything about movies, like myself, but I enjoyed its proposition. It rings true though omissions and overlooks happen to the left and the right. We needed a three hour documentary on this. Don't have a point to start, this can be a good and fun guide. Or better: just check the flicks listed in the movie connections of this doc and hunt them down one by one. You won't regret it. 7/10
