this was a fun time, its just such an 80s movie, but a fantastic concept, id love to see a remake modern day version of this as i think there is a ton to be explored with a story like this
good watch!

For a movie called F/X there is a distinct lack of F/X in this.
I do love how Rollie essentially defeats the bad guys by Home Alone’ing them with trip wires & booby traps.
An all time buddy ending with him & Leo though.

La película está muy buena, me parece que sale un poco de ser una película genética de acción de los 80s y le da un giro interesante a la trama principal. Me parece que la historia está buena y no es para nada aburrida. Siento que más gente la tendría que ver y darle una chance porque vale la pena mirarla.

I love how greasy all the fighting is. Like I truly believe it’s a VFX guy doing all the fights. Like hes almost looney toons with it.
