Favorite Movie Quote: "The Good Lord always says to turn the other cheek.. But he never had to deal with dickheads like you."
I am not looking for Oscar quality here, just entertainment. I'll give any movie a try that has Rene Russo and Sir Anthony Hopkins.
The premise sounds something like a sci-fi variation of Here Comes Mr. Jordan, known to modern movie goers as Heaven can Wait. i love both movies, so this has peaked my interest.
Mick Jagger is not an actor, but he gave a reasonably good impression of one here. Jonathan Banks is an actor, one that I come across frequently on TV, and he doesn't disappoint. Neither does Frankie Faison, another actor who I have seen frequently. And, there is a nunsploitation angle as Amanda Plummer plays a hard cussing, shotgun toting nun, who helps Alex (Emilio Estevez).
The first vision we have is a dystopian America where bullets fly on the street, but, right next to this, in Sector 9, things are very Republican. This is where Alex catches up with Julie (Russo), who doesn't believe it is him.
This is a fantastic and explosive action movie with everything one could want. Well, I would have liked to see Russo as she appeared in The Thomas Crown Affair, but you can't have everything.
