Pretty Good

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There is so much RIGHT with this movie - from the kick ass soundtrack to Tom Noonan. Unfortunately, I don't think it is appreciated until well after the fact. Uber-meta before meta was a thing. #BigGunNumberOne

Great 90s action movie! I remember watching this as a child, and I enjoyed every second of it. It's one of my favourite action movies from the 90s. It's something I could watch several times as a kid. The story was interesting. The movie is entertaining with plenty of action. The movie is funny too. It's a great kids movie, yet a great movie for all!The villains were probably the best thing about this movie, and I also liked how they included a cartoon character, but it would've been great had it had more screen time. The same goes with several other characters. This movie had potential to be even greater. I'm a huge fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he was the perfect choice to play the main character. I don't think anyone else could've played that role any better. I would say it's one of his more underrated films.Nothing more to say really other than the fact it's just a good and entertaining action movie.

If Arnold wants to come back after his near death in politics, he should do 'Jack Slater' with a young adult granddaughter and great grandson to rescue. It is the perfect movie for him and it would be so much fun I could watch for a decade. The character would spark a fire in fans and the storyline would follow his age without having to apologise. It would be a winner that would last him for a decade and then methinks he may want to retire.

The future Guvernator of California stars in this film that literally shatters dimensions. It's all about a ticket more valuable than the one that got you into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. This one allows young Austin O'Brien to get into one of the films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater hero cop with one of those special weapons that never seem to need reloading.Young O'Brien's world is taken up with the movies, his is one humdrum and typically anxiety filled life of an adolescent and his preoccupation with the cinema is driving mother Mercedes Ruehl a little batty. But one day the cinema projectionist Robert Prosky gives him a special golden admission ticket that allows O'Brien to enter the Schwarzenegger film and become an additional character. Since he seems to know what's going on ahead of everybody that becomes a problem for O'Brien. But not half the problem the real world gets when one of the screen villains develops a consciiousness about who he is and invades the real world. In fact Tom Noonan realizes the perfect way to solve all his problems in the film.Such folks as F. Murray Abraham, Anthony Quinn, and Art Carney get to do some nice characterizations in the film. This was Carney's farewell performance. Schwarzenegger and O'Brien have a nice chemistry going themselves. And Arnie gets a chance to spoof a bit of himself. Last Action Hero holds up well as entertainment. It does date however since now the big screen uses those DVDs. Those cans of film you see in the projectionist unintentionally truly date the work.
