That's the good thing about digital releases. You don't need to read reviews. You just acknowledge that if it's the same name attached as writer, producer, director and star and it's debuting at that price then it's absolutely a 5-star turd. Every time. Without fail.

"... You want them not to skimp on the crashed planes, sunken wrecks, air pockets, 'magic lungs syndrome', ridiculous escapes and hungry sharks - and this definitely doesn't!"

"It's about as definitive as Scorsese is probably willing to be and there's some tremendous jewels contained within here..."

"Farage (and his Sith overlord Donald Trump) has done a LOT of truly unforgivable shit but the WORST is definitely ruining the very beating heart of A FACE IN THE CROWD."

"In some ways it's probably good that the adaptations of Donald Westlake / 'Richard Stark' stories have continued to lower in standard to such an extent that lesser but still admirable efforts like this start to shine in comparison."

"The vibe is one where you feel it's quite pleased with what its 'destination' is but isn't at all sure how to get there. Almost like this thing was birthed from a 'twist' and they worked backwards."

"I know some who regard this as a great 'bad movie' but it's not that to me; it's a genuinely strong b-movie made by the king of 'em."

I "legitimately thought something truly effective could be pulled together from the high concept trapped within low production values. Alas not."

If you just go off the sketches SNL are sharing from last night, the show has realigned itself into 'The Chloe Fineman Comedy Hour'. Xenu and his Galactic Confederacy will be very proud. ("Hey Lorne? It's Tom Cruise, you got a minute...")

"The 1999 movie set a ridiculously high standard that the show itself has never really surpassed but this is an excellent effort in just delivering the 'funny'."

"... By the point that Dick Shawn in drag is fighting with John Diehl dressed as a Hare Krishna monk whilst dispensing comedy quips, you end up sat thinking 'What the fuck is this thing?'..."

"It's only at the halfway mark when the trio stop forcing the 'comedy' and let the natural warmth and naturally funny interactions occur that this becomes something pretty good actually."

"This isn't a great movie by any stretch. You could convince yourself it IS a great comedic artefact of the 1980s if you wanted to though."

Drew Struzan's work made me the film nut I am - hours spent staring at his posters and standees in the local video shop, awestruck at the artistry, desperate to see whether the film could live up to the detail. Absolutely gutted he's left us. RIP.
