Viewing Notes

Haven’t seen this since college on VHS. I was so-so on it then but now I appreciate it more. Liam Neeson is fun in this pulpy actioner. I had forgotten that Raimi directed this. Totally his style. It’s goofy most of the time but some good character moments. I can see why some people love this movie.
