Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
hb-60948 This movie is absolutely HILARIOUS! The type of humor is similar to that in The Princess Bride. I guess it could be considered as campy in that sense. It is definitely for a specific type of humor. If you appreciate Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and/or The Princess Bride, this is a must-see! Also, watch for what's going on in the background!! Nearly every inch of the set and the frame is used to full comedic effect - the details, like what books the characters are reading and the decor in the rooms are what makes this truly a 10/10 movie! Major props to Val Kilmer for his impressive singing. Also very cool of him for indulging in such a hilarious movie, despite being a Juilliard grad and wanting to be a serious, dramatic actor. How did I live without seeing this movie until now?!
andrew-york80 I know it's a spoof but, it's very out of date for 2018 and anyone born after Germany's unification probably won't get it.
Michael Radny Once a upon a time parodies used to be good and not cheap spin offs that grant easy cash. Top Secret definitely is in the class of decent parodies. Though dated, making some references hard to understand, Top Secret booms with more obvious funny moments making the modern audience laugh harder than any comedy of the recent era. The cast is good, the acting is good and the film itself is generally pretty good too. Though slightly dated now, if you've got time go back to this 80's gem to see what the hype was all about. Guaranteed to at least put a smile on your face, but unfortunately can be pretty forgettable. Val Kilmer at the helm, what more could you ask for.
Tim Kidner If you try and ignore this "Spy" offering from the Airplane team, you won't last long. When it's on your TV screen there'll soon be something so outrageously daft that you have to at least stare in dismay and amazement.Yes, it's a pity it hasn't got Leslie Nielsen at the helm but the young Elvis-sort of looking Val Kilmer is good, but not brilliant. It's just not in the class of the best Abrahams and Zucker's, especially the fore- mentioned Airplane, hence my four stars.Sent off to cold-war East Germany and playing rock'n'roll to an audience not yet immersed in such, at a concert that aims to unite west and east Berlin, Nick Rivers (Kilmer) encounters an array of mishaps, from the outset. Naturally, the opposite sort of happens and I'd like to say that plot details are fairly useless here and they're pointless in a script where gag after gag is out for laughs, most of them hitting some spot, or another. There's Omar Sharif as you've never seen, or ever thought you'd see him and a turn from Peter Cushing, too.Venturing into a parody of WWII films, including The Great Escape, it ends up with a herd of cows wearing wellington boots...What happens between is fast and funny and whilst Top Secret isn't the funniest thing you'll see, it's good and worthy of including in the 'ones to see'.
