"It is a substantial, moving and gorgeously realised tale that puts itself forth as an exhibit for the counter-argument that you CAN choose your family."

"... It really is tremendous - extremely tight script, great action choreography, tip top casting AND, let's be frank, EVERY action movie should have a Kamen-esque sax score."

"It is an absolute masterpiece of its type, incorrectly regarded as a silly, overblown cartoon actioner just coz that's exactly what the 4 (steadily worsening) sequels that followed were."

"Imagine the talent responsible for directing SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE marshaling a cast as comedically mighty as this only to deliver something so comedically averse it's embarrassing?"

It's "a green and red neon drenched BEFORE SUNRISE for piss-heads that evolves into a quick salute to ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, kicking the gear up to a punk rock TERMINATOR."

"It is as beloved (I know fellow children of the 80s who will cut you loose for disparaging it) as it is odd and it's deeply odd..."
