Viewing Notes
Wanted to revisit this after watching the loose HK remake Lifeline a few weeks ago. Was a big fan of this back in the day — saw it twice in theater on its release. Top five Kurt Russell role. “That’s my brother goddamnit!” 😭
Also a great Chicago movie with everything shot on location. So many recognizable spots.
Terrific Donald Sutherland bit part. RIP to a real one
