I enjoyed this thriller because Fonda and Sutherland are just fantastic, but the movie itself would have benefited from better music (the repetitive suspense theme was overdone) and better action scenes (the climactic moment was just confusing).

It wasn't deep, altho it did have some interesting class analysis going on... it was very silly and frequently hilarious, altho it did have some serious and dark moments... most of all it was just different, which is all I can ever really ask.
This Myers classic has aged a bit, but he's always amazing when he's playing against himself as another character, and at least half the jokes still go.
exotic locales, sexy and talented actors, a fun concept of a story, arresting cinematography, but soooo slowwwww......
there are definitely some great moments of dry humor here, particularly after about the 30 minute mark when the last main characters come in, but, not being a dog fanatic myself, I don't know if I ever need to see this movie again.
sidney poitier at his standard amazingness in this epic bad guy chase thriller; I was entertained and thrilled and I also enjoyed seeing late 80s upstate new york / canada.
vaguely fun, good cast, kinda cringe, not nearly as good as Dave (1993).
ugh idk why i watched this let's just say you can't believe everything you read on twitter.
there's a lot to like about this early stoner comedy, both as a historical marker and because it's funny - even though a lot of the jokes don't land anymore.
a sumptuous, lovely, nice, beautiful, emotional, and short little documentary - made me want to listen to octopus themed music the rest of the night.
this is a great movie for yelling at the screen with your friends, and forest whitaker steals the show.
honestly I couldn't get through it I just wanted a bit more to happen... it wasn't bad, though... maybe I'll come back and finish and update this.
an astounding feat of camera work, but also an engaging and effective story.
This is a ridiculous super hollywood blockbuster type movie, full of unnecessary set pieces, questionable plot turns, and terrible acting - better viewed with an eye towards the history of the american fight against mega corporations than for any other reason.
In Connery's last bond outing, he does look a bit older and bit tireder but it's still a great romp full of fun moments and flashy gadgets.
This seven book sci-fi spacey redo of the Horatio Hornblower series was reactionary, predictable, silly, and kind of preachy - and yet for some reason I couldn't put it down and finished the whole thing in 2 weeks.
this movie must come with a loud content warning for themes of rape and pedophilia (we didn't get said warning so we were... shocked), and yet despite that, for some reason, it is darkly, gloriously funny.
