This movie surprised me with how genuine it is. It's not flashy, it doesn't try to overly dramatize the story being told, but thats not to say this isn't a drama, because it is!
Say Anything is a love story sure, but there are so many layers to it and different relationship dynamics between friends, ex-lovers, parents, sisters, nephews. But, you have to pay attention to those details. This movie has no hamfisted expositions or god like narrator that knows…
Some jokes have not aged well, but the ones that do still hit have that Pauly Shore charm that only comes from that weirdo.
This movie captures a unique tone of the futility of war and the human nature to invade and disect foreign intities under the banner of nationalism.
It also has some of the best sci-fi action scenes ever captured in film. The CGI and practical effects hold up over 2 decades later.
"Service guarantees citizenship"
A perfectly refined 3 act film encapsulating speed.
I. The Elevator
II. The bus
III. The train
Each action set piece flows seamlessly into the next.
The sexual chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is so strong I might have chemical burns.
