It's really not very good, but I love Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken and chandelier headlights are pretty awesome.

Cheesy but entertaining. Took about half the movie to get used to Kurt Russell in this role, not to mention Donald Pleasence as President.

had to DNF this one because of brainless action movie tropes and no systematic behavior from supposed professionals. it is was impossible to suspend disbelief and eventually I accepted that nothing compelled me to keep watching.

This one is as rough as Kurt Russell's growl. I feel like this film has a cult following and I get that more than actually finding anything worthwhile in this thing. Kurt Russell has a eyepatch, is named Snake, and has the raspiest of voices. New York has finally succumb to its immoral depravity. The cheesy computers. All of these things bring out a sort of endearment, but if you don't feel nostalgia to start with, it's just kinda stupid and boring.

The sound effects made the movie feel like a parody of itself. Immersion ruined and I really like Snake (name's Plissken).

This is exactly how I remember 1997. Thankfully, I was in Oklahoma City that year. No fat on this flick at all - they could have added 20 or so minutes of logic and realism but then it would have been stupid AND boring. A classic.
