Review of Highlander (1986) by Troy F — 10 Sep 2012
Highlander may not hold up well, but when you put your mind into 80's cinema mode, it's a bloody entertaining film! I do and don't know why I love this movie, it's on one hand totally original, Sean Connery is great, the action is spectacular, the soundtrack rules, and the film has an cheesy fun entertainment to it with some memorable quotes and even some mildly funny parts, whether intentional or not.
On the other hand, Christopher Lambert isn't necessarily a terrific actor despite being a really great protagonist and the film dates pretty badly and its cheesiness while fun can be a bit rather silly.
But it's a film like no other, and I suppose it holds a place in my heart as far as entertaining 80's action flicks go. Highlander may not be perfect on a critical level, but on an entertainment level, I personally find it brilliant!
