How was this movie made in 1989?!?!?!? This movie looks absolutely stunning. There are moments that made my jaw drop! That shot of Bud swimming above the ship, JUST WOW! No one does it like Jimmy C.
But there's real emotion here, and I love how the second half is just thrilling set piece after thrilling set piece. So tense and exciting, and this movie doesn't get the love it deserves! It's phenomenal.
