Review of Space Cowboys (2000) by Paul P — 03 Jun 2012

I should not have been enjoying this as much as I actually did....

Everything about the film starting with the concept would normally mean avoidance at all costs as far as I am concerned. Instead I found myself engaged in the film and the old geezers leading this flick are on top form and appear to be having a blast. Donald Sutherland in particular is a hugely fun presence and spends most of his time with a huge grin on his face.

The story itself is pretty thin as expected and the effects work is not all that spectacular but the cast alone make this a lot more fun then it has any right to be.....
