Actors: Kurt Russell,
Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dun, James Hong
Rating: 8 out of 10, I
could not believe this beloved old movie was not part of my library – something
that was recently rectified. Re-watching
it I was reminded how much fun it was, especially Russell channeling his inner
John Wayne to play the bombastic, deeply flawed hero. This is John Carpenter at
his best giving us too many unbelievable concepts to process while poking loving
fun at the B-movie genre. This film definitely
belongs in the category of guilty pleasure but what a true pleasure it remains
and Kim Cattrall was smoking hot before Sex in the City wrung all the joy out
of her.
MVP: Russel as the blow hard, very imperfect hero
Jack Burton
