Horrible acting. I gave this film a 7/10 for the story and violence but it would rank up three with the greats if they just spent a little more time on the performances.

what was wrong with the acting? its a strong early 80s type of acting
if anything Lack's character turned into a "normal" guy too quickly, give or take the drug.

It's weird how we got all the great films/acting of the 70's and it lead to a decade of subpar acting. I love the 80's for its own reasons but there's some terrible acting in a ton of films that I love, Scanners being one of them. Much of it is absolutely on purpose though. The decade was full of "Colorful" artistic expression. Comes with the package lol

I'm watching this now and I think the acting is pretty good yeah sure some of it is kind of corny but thats the 80s lol. In a certain way I kind of like this over acting more than the casual style of acting so many actors do nowadays.. atleast in these type of movies I think it works.
