Review of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991) by Dawdlingpoet — 27 Nov 2021

The supposedly futuristic look of this film made me smirk a bit, given the film dates from 1991, its likely unsurprisingly to hear that it seems rather dated but thats not to say its not a good watch anyway. Some scenes all but reek of the corporate yuppie culture of the time it was released in. The film has a kind of dystopian feel to it - not that everything depicted in this futuristic society is awful but there's definitely a depressing, grim undertone to it, put it that way. The music played in the background has a sombre tone to it as well.

One of the main characters has an accent that made it sound like they'd been lifted right out of a Western. The bad guys looked a bit like characters from The Matrix films, wearing body covering black leather/plastic garb.

I found myself feeling a little lost in terms of plot intricacies but the action scenes aren't badly done and its a somewhat entertaining watch and the final few scenes were surprisingly engrossing, so overall I'd say this is worth a watch if it interests you, even though its a bit dated and grim.
