This 1995 movie was not very well regarded when it came out, nor afterwards, but interesting for several reasons and worth catching on cable or on demand: A young Antonio Banderas as the cruel, nasty, ambitious contract killer An unusually subdued, thoughtful Sly Stallone as the older hitman realizing his arsenal’s near empty Julianne Moore is first the two assassins’s target and then the final straw in Sly’s self-realization. The script is the first produced feature written by Andy and Larry Wachowski, who of course went on to make the Matrix trilogy. Richard Donner directed, making this in the middle of a string of four Mel Gibson flicks (Lethal Weapon 3, Maverick, Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4). Donner also directed the first two Christopher Reeve Supermans, The Goonies, The Omen and the first two Lethal Weapons. recommended [ Full article ] |
