Review of Crime Wave (1985) by Michael G — 29 Oct 2007

Wow. the degree of sexual menace offered by the film is quite surprsing, startling, unsettling. even in a modern context it would have the same effect depicted in the same way. or maybe not, considering its chief purveyor here is played by the inimitable, and now dead, timothy carey.

I for one would not at all like being sexually assaulted by timothy carey. but I do like watching the crazy bastard act even though this is actually one of his lesser performances. but the film is a masterful noir, above and beyond, in every sense, a good 99.

9 percent of the the genres many and varied offerings. bronson is in this one too, and he's a real monstrous prick in it, it's great. hayden is the best actor in it, of course. the dialogue is everything one expects and wants from this kind of movie.
