Review: This
was an offbeat
over the top production and a lot of fun to watch. It's full of
interesting imagery in San Francisco, and it's just a good bit of
escapism. Silly and full of slapstick, it's not to be taken any more
seriously than the cover implies, so don't expect a lot, and just sit
back to enjoy Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall having a fun time of it.
It's a silly, goofy roller coaster, and you should keep in mind that
the movie is full of martial arts action and violence, but it isn't
bloody or gory in any way, but the monsters and bad guys really are
monstrous and bad, littles will have trouble with this one, mostly by
getting bored then scared more than anything.
