Red Dawn **** (1984, Patrick Swayze, C Thomas Howell, Ron O’Neal, William Smith, Powers Boothe, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey) – Classic Movie Review 5457
Co-writer/ director John Milius’s 1984 American Eighties right-wing propaganda action thriller Any Which Way You Can is thoroughly disreputable, but also sneakily very enjoyable as a guilty pleasure. In Milius’s screenplay with Kevin Reynolds (who […]
