Simplistic, violent, enjoyable.


I really like this film. I see it as a variation on the lone gunman/hero theme and there is not really anything original about the story. But it's well made, well paced and the cast is good. It also predates the heavy
over reliance on CGI which so many films these days rely on rather than just telling a good story.

Agreed! Re-watched it yesterday for the first time in 4-5 years and it was still as good and entertaining as it was the first time. Criminally underrated and one of Kurt Russell's best performances.
