    Lame, cheesy, bad acting and an uninteresting story make this pretty terrible. Even the music is bad - the synth tracks are generally ok but the metal ones are pure butt rock and really stand out in a disappointing way.

    If I had to pick between this and The Ward as Carpenter's worst it would be a toss up.

    ★★★

    Solid thriller about the surveillance state that was incredibly prescient especially considering it was released 3 years before 9/11. Hackman as always is great and Smith was at the peak of his career - the leads really made this. I will say that while I like most Tony Scott films, the editing and the style shots of this is are a bit too much, but I can forgive it.

    I feel like I have to start this with a disclaimer. Being a man and having grown up without any sisters I do not have any nostalgia for Barbie, so I'm really not the target audience for this.

    ★★★★

    More of a remake of the original than I was expecting. The cast is tremendous (and while I love Willem Dafoe, he occasionally stepped into camp which was not really ideal), and all of the structural stuff like sets, music and costumes are perfect. If you are into Eggers I think it's well worth a watch.
