Thelma & Louise (1991)
Consciousness raised, then snuffed out
The sad truth is that, in the world of men, a truly awake woman often cannot find a way to survive.
The actions of various men (admittedly at their worst) send our anti-heroines into a downward spiral of destructive and ultimately self-destructive behavior. Other, better men reach out to them, but it all seems too little and too late. Before going out, T&L become truly aware.
Was it worth it?
The Dead Pool (1988)
Rip-Roaring, none too challenging.
Jim Carrey and Liam Neeson are interesting enough to see in these fairly minor parts. But the highlight of the film, for me, was the chase scene involving a toy RC car as the pursuing "bad" car. Every cliche of a Hollywood car chase scene is fulfilled to a T, right down to nobody being seriously injured despite massive destruction of property. This alone is worth the price of admission/rental.
