Review of Steel Dawn (1987) by Daniel V — 23 Dec 2012

So many entertainers have gone too soon. Heath Ledger, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Marylin, George Carlin... Yeah so George was older and less of a surprise but losing George at 150 would be losing him too young.

Patrick Swayze was one of the biggest stars of the 80's and while his career in the 90's and 00's was less prolific he did turn in a gem or two(Looking at you To Wong Foo and Donnie Darko).

Steel Dawn may not be one of his finest 2 hours but it still is an entertaining Shane inspired Post WWIII apocalyptic flick. Action is good, Dialogue is ok at times, funny as hell at others, But Swayze is enough of a badass to make this watchable.

Can't help but think this would've rated higher on my scale if I had seen it as 10 year-old than having my first viewing as a 35 year old.
