Review of Streets of Fire (1984) by Anna B — 20 May 2014

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. Despite a lot of clichés and some bad performances (Paré' is just terrible), Hill's direction is great, Dafoe, Madigan, and Moranis are all really good, the music is awesome (though bizarrely inappropriate for the apparent time period) and it kicks along at an entertaining pace for its entire length.

And even though the part was clearly written for a man, the McCoy character's badassery doesn't get undermined at any point. Awesome. Also Diane Lane is hot as balls.
