Not last night but over the last few nights, Commando - brought to mind a recent contribution to the cartoons thread...

Excellent stuff! Arnie - never lets you down.

"I let him go."

And, a longtime favourite, Midnight Run. An absolute belter of a buddy movie, with loads of action, genuinely funny humour, brilliant plot twists, and real heart.

"Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone"

Midnight run is also a favourite of ours. Apparently de Niro and Grodin didn't get on, so acting out the antipathy between their characters was easy.

Meant to post this last night. Play Dirty on Prime.
You will be expecting a by the numbers Marky Mark action flic except this one isn't. It is still utter drivel full of plot holes but the twists and turns keep twisting and turning making it entertaining drivel. Perfectly acceptable for the genre.

Commando is one of Arnie's finest, 'hah, I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now I'm very hungry.'

'Oh my god, I can't believe this macho bullshit.'

And not forgetting, 'let off some steam Bennett,' as he despatches one of the Village People.

Commando was good fun but almost comic like in it's approach as so over the top for Arnie. Predator was a really good, proper film. Yes of course not realistic but it was very well done.

If you want peak over the top Arnie then Last Action Hero. Knowingly OTT.

That's the thing with Commando, it doesn't pretend to be serious and is just a brilliant piece of fun.

The writer must have had an eye on the Roger Moore Bond films for inspiration.

And Charles Dance, he plays a great baddie, the way he can stay completely serious in Ali G in da House when everyone around him is dicking about is top class.

There's a thing I have been pondering for a while.
Why are all the best baddies English? The extends, and was highlighted, in Hollywood movies. I'm guessing use of tone.
