Viewing Notes

A relic of the eighties but still a fun watch, mainly for Jamie Lee Curtis being a bad ass. Ron Silver plays a Wall Street scumbag with such sleazy sincerity that I’ve never been able to get past his characterization in any subsequent movie I’ve seen him in. Luckily he typically plays a scumbag so it all works out.

I had no recollection of Tom Sizemore in this at all, so it was a nice surprise to see him pop up as the supermarket robber near the beginning.
