ThiefHott Too much of everything
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Benedito Dias Rodrigues In another John Carpenter's story this low budge movie have an unbelieving plot,but somehow works as entertainment if you forget some ridiculous scenes like a car jumping between two twin skyscrapers,Tommy Lee Jones in great shape and Linda Hamilton is gorgeous as young car's thief and always a pleasure to see back on screen the great Richard Jaeckel and Robert Vaughn...great action scenes!! Resume: First: 1996 / How Many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6
adonis98-743-186503 The Screenplay was written by John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, They Live, Starman and many more) the film stars Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton and they both are great in this movie loved they're characters and the story was something pretty original back then. If you think you're going to see a car chase in a Fast & Furious style then you will probably be disappointed but if you expect to see a good old 80's film with a good cast and a big heist with guns and cars then you will love it. It's not one of the best 80's films but sure it's entertaining. There's actually a scene in the film that reminds me of Fast & Furious 7 when the car goes from building to building they actually do the same but with less cgi and only one building. I think this movie is pretty underrated it's still fun and it has some very good performances and action from the 2 leads. If you love Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton you should definitely see this one.
Woodyanders Master thief Sam Quint (Tommy Lee Jones in peak rough'n'tumble craggy form) is hired by the government to steal data from a shady organization. Quint hides the data in an experimental supercar called the Black Moon. The Black Moon gets ripped off by sassy ace automobile booster Nina (a winning performance by the insanely foxy Linda Hamilton), who works for a stolen car ring run by the ruthless Ed Ryland (a nicely slimy Robert Vaughn). Quint has to break into Ryland's impregnable office building so he can steal back the Black Moon. Director Harvey Cokeless maintains a constant brisk pace and stages the action scenes with real rip-snorting brio. Lalo Schifrin's robust, rousing, jazzy score pumps up the tension. Misha Suslov's slick cinematography gives the film an attractive polished look. The bang-up supporting cast rates as another major plus: Richard Jaeckel as nerdy scientist Earl Windom, Bubba Smith as intimidating government agent Johnson, Lee Ving as vicious thug Marvin Ringer, Dan Shor as Windom's amiable assistant Billy Lyons, William Sanderson as sweet deaf guy Tyke Thayden, and Keenan Wynn as the ailing Iron John. Jones makes for a refreshingly human and vulnerable protagonist. The climactic break-in sequence is especially tense and gripping. Moreover, there's an amusingly sly sense of humor evident throughout. This tight, trim and witty B action thriller gets right down to brass tacks and hits the stirring spot in a satisfying straightforward and unpretentious manner.
ccthemovieman-1 Tommy Lee Jones in a love scene??!! Yikes: what a scary thought. It happened maybe only once on film in his illustrious career. This is that film. With Linda Hamilton, too! I guess this is another version of her TV show, "Beauty and The Beast."Okay, I don't mean to be that nasty because Jones is a terrific actor and usually a lot of fun to watch, especially when he's chasing bad guys.This film really had a Class B-type of feel to it despite the presence of those two actors, along with Robert Vaughn and Richard Jaekel....and a very cool car called "Black Moon."The best thing about the movie was that it was fast-moving, meaning it was interesting enough not to get bored. Other than that, it's an ordinary heist tale that isn't too memorable.
