Review of Escape from New York (1981) by Daniel W — 09 Sep 2011

It's budget is both it's strenghts and weakness. Accomplishing the desolate and crazy settings of a destroyed Manhattan with a mix of miniatures and well composed wrecked set pieces is still very well done, but the movie could've had some more elaborate action set pieces to break a bit some of the dead moments.

Nevertheless it's still a very original film, with a forever iconic performance from Russel. Please, please don't remake this...
