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.

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.
