The 80s were a better time for movies because a major plot point could be “this giant computer console is going to take twelve hours to download this photo”
Like a feature-length, extremely entertaining episode of The Americans.
*tapping my hand on this movie like the trunk of a car*
look how many Cold War anxieties we can fit in this bad boy. they don’t make ‘em like this anymore!
Very underrated Kevin Costner thriller. He’s Tom Farrell, a Naval Officer who gets hot and heavy in the backseat of a limo with Susan (Sean Young), a would-be Washington socialite. Susan is the mistress of the Secretary of Defense David Brice (Gene Hackman), and Brice's indecipherable jealousy towards the unknown lover leads to foul play. Suddenly, Farrell is placed in charge of an under wraps investigation that can stay an internal matter as long as the suspect in question is given the false pretenses of being a KGB sleeper agent. Anything for Brice and his chief of staff Pritchard (Will Patton, a sycophant for power) to divert attention away from their guilt. But Farrell knows he is in jeopardy because…
Not only does it serve up one the gutsiest and most absurd wraparound misdirects of the '80s neo-noir crop, but this manages to effectively confine its conspiratorial oppression within the walls of one of the world's most secure buildings for a self-serving, titular flex with twisty-turny tension and on-foot chases aplenty. The Hackman-Patton dynamic adds a bizarre extra dimension to it as well, especially given Patton's all-in portrayal of the obsequious, wide-eyed nutjob that is Pritchard.

You know how people like to say that everything old is new again? Sometimes that's true, as it was last night on Dancing with the Stars, when Barry Williams - who I'm proud to say I voted for every week - went out with a bang in what ended up being his final performance of the competition, a salsa to Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right, But It's Okay" that had me howling and cheering at my screen. The next time you need to visualize someone living their best life, just look at this picture of the eldest son from The Brady Bunch…
Kept me on tenterhooks throughout most of the runtime. Gene Hackman and Kevin Costner were amazing in their roles. The ending left the film with a sour note. So much running around I could barely keep up.
I've never felt more strongly that a movie would have been exponentially better if the lead actor had been swapped out for Nicholas Cage. Those fifty minutes of exposition would have flown by, and he would have looked way more natural in that Hawaiian shirt. Even the terrible score would somehow feel more appropriate for a Cage movie.
