Review of Black Moon Rising (1986) by Jason J — 10 Jan 2011
Enjoyable 80's espionage/action thriller about a supercar (very unlike KITT from Knight Rider) that can hit speeds over 300mph which is nabbed by a company led by Robert Vaughan. Tommy Lee Jones' character wants the car back as he's placed a sensitive data tape that he stole inside it.
While it's not great cinema, it IS great fun. The action is top-notch and the characters are appealing. The relationship between Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton is surprising well-balanced for an 80s action movie.
It has a bit of everything - action, romance, coldly wicked villains, a flawed hero, a strong heroine, humour and a bit of pathos. One to watch on a lazy weekend.
