A Brilliant Conflict

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I do not know what some people expect from a movie. This film had a little lacking in the acting area but over all it was very entertaining. Most of the main actors were veterans who did a good job. The whole concept of apocalyptic movies is well served in this movie. Patrick Swayze is decent as always and plays his role well, not great but who hits it all the time. His wife plays the female lead and she does deliver some of her lines seemingly by rote but does okay. The characters were very clear, the good and the bad were well defined. The actor that played the hired killer was cool looking and a cheat with his knife in the knee but got his just desserts in the end as is usual

A fantastic stand out movie in my opinion, I still remember that it has one of the best lines ever uttered in film - "you don't think very much of me do you? You flatter yourself, I think nothing of you." Class. Simple premise, simple story line, simple acting but some great actors involved - the English actor who plays the main bad guy is particularly good and the whole thing works well. Brion James from Blade runner (or Tango and Cash/ Red Heat - whatever takes your fancy) makes an appearance and Patrick Swayze's wife is the love interest which I never knew, thank you wikipedia. Overall a fun guy's film that doesn't go overboard on the whole look within yourself and make a change philosophy so just sit back enjoy.

Steel dawn, had no dawn and very little steel to speak of. However, it did contain large quantities of Swayze. The hero, played by Patrick Swayze, is a nomad traveling post-apocalyptic wastelands in search a swayz-tacular adventure. He meets up with Tark, a hulk-hogan-like individual who eventually befriends swayze. Their advisary, played by a rejected member of Bon Jovi, spends the majority of the film trying to kill swayze because he is jealous of his hair style. There are many whimsical happenings along the way, such as a swayze finding a dog, and swayze climbing a sand dune. Overall i give this movie a 4/10 due to its poor method of conveying the modern struggles of the inner self in an existential environment.

After reading the story i know what to expect from the movie (not much) so with that in mind it was quite alright. Some laughs over the stereotyped action-movie scenes. Most of the story wasn't so hard to figure out.
