Review of The Last American Hero (1973) by Evil S — 17 Aug 2004

[b][u][color=black][font=Arial]The Punisher:[/font][/color][/u][/b][color=black][font=Arial] The revenge of Saint is gritty, dark and shows promise for this movie. Unfortunately things start to fall apart in the second half, when the movie has trouble deciding whether it wants to play it straight or not. Lacks the dark humour from the comic books, but has potential as a franchise. Thomas Jane is perfect as Castle, which was nice. Once again the henchman is cooler than the main bad guy (Will Patton needs to be respected fools!)[/font][/color].

[b][u][color=black][font=Arial]The Last American Hero:[/font][/color][/u][/b][color=black][font=Arial] Typical ?loser becomes hero? story, but Bridges made it worth my time.[/font][/color].

[b][u][color=black][font=Arial]Midnight Express:[/font][/color][/u][/b][color=black][font=Arial] Based on a true story, so you just know lots of stuff was changed. Still, it?s a very affecting story that profits from its unique setting (the prison in Turkey is worse than those in other prison movies).[/font][/color].

[b][u][color=black][font=Arial]Tommy:[/font][/color][/u][/b][color=black][font=Arial] A sharp satire on religions even if the movie?s all over the place. Excellent music by The Who (Pinball Wizard = awesomeness). Probably the closest you?ll ever get to an LSD-experience without doing any.[/font][/color].
