Solid shootout,but violence-realistic as hell
ROLLING THUNDER is one movie that i can watch and at the same time not to be bored by any small or big *beep* ups that most of the movies have.
RT has the right combination of character scenes and action. And since i think everyone already know about characters,i would like to say something about action in this movie.
While i think that meat grinder scene,first shootout and bar fight are typical for action movie,final shootout amazed me with level of violence and realism. O.K,if we put aside the fact that Rane and Johhny got shot few times and they are still alive (however,i read that original idea for ending was that both of them die after the shootout) what we have is qute realistic scene of clearing the location from enemies and the way that bullet and shotgun hits are filmed is exactly the way that it would be in real life situation.
This is the reason why i always mention final shootout from ROLLING THUNDER as the most realistic one i have seen. But not many people have heard for this movie,most of them the same people who think that some "one guy kills 50 guys" action movies have realistic shootouts.
Anyway,that was some info that i wanted to share.
