Review of Black Moon Rising (1986) by Ennis Brokeback L — 18 Oct 2014
Dumb 80s action flick is only of note because it stars Tommy Lee Jones in a role that seemed more befitting of Chuck Norris or Lorenzo Lamas. However, the script is based on a story from John Carpenter (I'm curious what his original version was like) and the film features a stronger cast than t his lame brain production deserved, which includes Linda Hamilton, Robert Vaughn, Richard Jaeckel, Lee Ving, Bubba Smith, William Sanderson, Keenan Wynn and Nick Cassavetes.
There's also a Lalo Schifrin score. Unfortunately, the lame story about a car thief Jones working with the FBI to recover some random McGuffin is no better than your average Andy Sidaris script.
