Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
notsomighty why is this movie not on DVD?and why when i ask if they've seen it do people look at me like i've got three heads?and why have most of the IMDb comments ripped into it? its great!!OK its no empire strikes back or shawshank redemption but it does the job.good story,good soundtrack,demi moore,what else do you want? i have no doubt that some pretentious English lit grad budding movie reviewer is gonna shoot me down but it ticks all my boxes,if you've not seen it check it out, good old 80's semi post brat pack action pack fun!! that is of course my opinion, you are entitled to yours also.
David Clark Is it all a dream? This is one of the best movies ever for a sad ending thwarted by the idea that what was just seen was perhaps just a dream that only lasted a few minutes in the sub-conscious mind of the star of the film. Desperation from unemployment and early mistakes in life are taken on from the dark comedy perspective and Estevez decides to do the only job society has decided he is fit to perform, that of being a criminal. Interestingly society then becomes his largest supporter as he flees the law, until a chance encounter turns sour, and suddenly there appears only one possible outcome will prevail. Do yourself a favor and rent this one.
miko4444 A wonderful movie if you ever lived in Sacramento in the downtown or Land Park area. Most of the movie was filmed there, and you'll get a real kick out of seeing the town in a movie. A common experience for those who live in L.A., New York, and San Francisco, but not for us residents of the Big Tomato.And the music is fun.
Turk 182-2 Ever have one of those days where things just kind of get out of control and REALLY go from bad to worse? John Wisdom seems like a normal-enough guy who did the same stupid things we all did at that age, except he went a little further. He "borrowed" a car and got caught. Now, forever branded a convicted felon, he sees his future as a series of minimum wage jobs and boredom. One day that all changes, and it goes out of control. Watch the movie for the rest of the story. You won't be dissappointed. Hint: Watch ALL of the movie.It's a great story, very believable with some action and excellent chemistry between its' stars, Demi Moore and Estevez. Tom Skirret plays his father, who doesn't know how to help his son. Actually, he hasn't a clue what to do. It's part fantasy and real Americana. This movie is a sleeper.
