Yine potansiyeli harcanmış bir film daha. Elinde Snake gibi sinema tarihine geçebilecek bir karakter ve Koca Manhattan'ın bir bölümünün suçlulara ayrılması gibi ilgi çekici bir konun var. Ama sen sıkıcı bir villain ve minimum sayıda aksiyon sahnesi ile zevk almamızı kısıtlıyorsun Carpenter. Yine de sana saygı duyuyorum ve kendi çapında en iyi yönetmenlerden biri olduğunu düşünüyorum. En azından kendi tarzı var be!

This is an almost stupid storyline, but not quite and as such it is pleasingly simple and visually there is a lot to like about it (in particular Carpenter's use of light). What I really like about this movie is that no scene plays for any longer than is absolutely necessary (a good case in point is the fight between Snake and Slag). Oh, and Frank Doubleday as Romero is completely captivating.

Fun Fact: Kurt Russel would later reuse the Snake Plissken eyepatch for his role as Captain Ron after refusing to wear it just five years earlier for his first rapey pirate movie, Overboard.

This is a mixed bag. A lot of the Carpenter Club make appearances here, with Russell leading the charge. The cast as a whole turn in fine performances, but none of their characters are especially interesting- particularly Barbeau's, who really just runs around in a skimpy dress without saying or doing all that much. It's carried by its premise & the league of cult favorites it features, but the plot does leave a bit to be desired. Definitely a fun watch, but it could've been more than it is.

A cool and assured near-future dystopian sci-fi film with a great concept, though not that it milks it for what it's worth -- this is also fairly slow, not filling its story out so much, but increasing the mood and dread instead. Russell has a great bad-ass take-shit-from-noone attitude in this, but unfortunately it dissipates quite quickly, so he has far less great lines than he could've. Boxing scene was also a bad aside.

First act (or half, if I'm being generous) is fucking excellent, but it descends into lame schlock pretty soon after Snake actually gets into the city. The way that it's paced in the beginning, though, god damn.
