Nonureva Really Surprised!

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

trojans7 i just love this movie had not watch this in sometime, i had forgotten how good it was. i just laughed all the way though again slater is perfect in the roll of kuffs. it was a character tailor made for him. the endless banter to the camera is great and yes i no some people hatred it for that alone.each to there own.the cop story is your standard fare but its like ferris bullers day off with guns.it has good comedy good action and milla what more do you need i mean serious even the non widescreen DVD didn't distract me. and for me that is saying something. yes it is old school but you know thats its appeal it puts a smile on your dial for 90mins.

SeriousJest This film has decent camp value, which is actually helped by the passage of time, because it is now even more evident how ridiculous early-90s fashion was. Hence, the villain with the T-shirt of his own picture (which was actually a fad back then) is even more hilarious. Also, Evans took chances with creative camera shots and sound, and they paid off. This movie simultaneously pays homage to, and makes fun of, movies like Beverly Hills Cop...although Slater is not as funny or personable as Eddie Murphy. Jovovich, on the other hand, came across as very sweet and endearing, and looked very pretty...I wish she got more screen time. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago; she's aged well!You should focus on the film's irony to really appreciate its value. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. However, in the end, there were too many mediocre and unfunny (even in an ironic way) lines and moments to justify recommending that you spend time watching this movie. If you do get dragged into watching it, however, you probably won't hate it. It's just...okay.For more reviews and a kickass podcast, check out www.livemancave.com

FlashCallahan George Kuffs didn't finish high-school, just lost his job and his girlfriend who still is in college is pregnant.Since he can't see how he can support her, he thinks she is better off without him.So he visits his elder brother, Brad, to squeeze him for a loan so he can go to Brazil where there's a gold-rush going on.Unfortunately Brad is killed and George is suddenly the owner of Brad's "patrol special" district....Depending on how much you can tolerate Christian Slater, is how much you will enjoy this film. I went to see this at the movies, and even then when I were 14, there were points i wish i could have broken the fourth wall and slapped him.The mugging at the camera is an okay idea, and many of the demographic that this film is aimed at, would have found it fresh and quite endearing, as an actor was involving them in the movie and the plot.But thats my only gripe because the film is witty and part from the story, it's quite an original movie, with a good script. Slater is good as the titular characters, but like I said before, if you were not aged between the ages 13-18 in 1992, will find this film hard to like.Original parts of the movie are having profanity beeped, so the killer line will be funnier, having the bad guys clothing become a character in itself, and a running gag involving turkey cooking.Kuffs even has hi own 'Axel F' music.It's early nineties cheese and the type of movie you should watch with rose coloured specs, because watching the film nearly twenty years later, George Kuffs isn't the cool guy I once thought he was.Still a funny film though.

Mike-168 My roommate in college dragged me to this piece of crap, and I'm ashamed to say I actually paid top dollar (maybe $6 in 1992) to see it. It's the first movie I ever walked out on. Or it would have been if my roommate wasn't such a big Christian Slater fan. That and the fact that he had the car. When the IMDb top 250 and it's ugly step-sister, the Bottom 100 first came out a few years ago, this movie was in the latter. It was right up there (or down there, more appropriately) in the top 10 with Manos, The Hands of Fate (which really wasn't that bad if viewed via Mystery Science Theater 3000). This truly was a horrible film. In a year that also produced Reservoir Dogs, Army of Darkness, A Few Good Men and the Unforgiving, this movie should be "The Forgotten" and for good reason. It stuck.
