Viewing Notes

I forgot just how fun this movie is. Still a blast to watch, and while it’s not the most stylistic of De Palma’s films, if you’re paying attention you’ll definitely see some of his trademark shots.

I completely forgot that Emilio Estevez was in this. It’s too bad his character couldn’t have continued over into the rest of the series as he’d have been a great levity counterpoint.
