Review of Escape from New York (1981) by Kristopher P — 25 Jun 2012
The grim, gritty atmosphere is instantly familiar, as it's been copied many times since. But Carpenter's low budget thriller crackles with Russell's performance as Snake Plissken. It's a fantastic ride, but there's not much of a payoff from the suspense.
