Review of Miracle Mile (1989) by Paul W — 04 Dec 2009
How is it that this sleeper of a movie has been around for twenty-plus years and I never heard of it till now? There's a made-for-TV vibe to it, but let me tell you, once the story begins to unfold you'll be on the edge of your seat right up to the closing credits.
What hooks you is that you don't know any more than Anthony Edwards' character does. And all he knows is that the guy on the other end of a ringing pay phone he just happened to pick up says a nuclear war is starting and that LA will be hit in an hour and ten minutes.
Suspense, panic and societal breakdown ensue, and the ending . . . well, it's actually pretty damn good.
