Escape from L A ** (1996, Kurt Russell, Cliff Robertson, Georges Corraface, A J Langer, Steve Buscemi, Stacy Keach, Bruce Campbell, Peter Fonda, Michelle Forbes, Pam Grier, Valeria Golino) – Classic Movie Review 1176
Director John Carpenter and star Kurt Russell reunite in 1996 for a fairly feeble, low-imagination, low-adrenaline sequel to 1981’s Escape from New York that plays more like a re-make. They shouldn’t have proceeded without a […]
