See this film. It kicks ass. Its a cryin' shame that no one else has anything to say about it. Its got the best of Alan Parker and Cage's best performance bar none.

I totally agree with you, this is a great movie even if the end is not really good. I prefer Nicolas Cage in that kind of performance that in movies like Gone in sixty seconds. The Peter Gabriel's music gives a good mood and even Matthew Modine is great in the leading role.

Saw it back in 85, one of my favorites! Back when Cage knew a good role when he saw it. Modine is incredible as well.

~ This movie was wonderful
. I just saw it last night. I think this was one of Cage's & Modine's best role.

Did anyone else pay attention to George Buck's performance? He was the father. I've seen him in a number of films and he has quite an impressive resume.

it's wonderful, it's brilliant! i don't think that it could be made any better than this! this movie is the proof of the capacity of alan parker (one of my favorite directors) as a director. the acting is great; this is the film that makes me reconsider the talent of nicholas cage (with his great composition). i don't even need to mention the performance of matthew modine which was simply incredible (oh, i did mention!). and, what's wrong with the ending? in my opinion, everything was just right!

Most of the comment about this movie are here: http://imdb.com/tit le/tt0086969/usercom ments
Most likely before the message board was created.
Great movie. I am currently re-watching it as I type. I will most likely return here and type some comments. Some part are so sad, it's hard to swallow.

I've been looking for this movie, can't find it anywhere. I wish people had more to say about it, kind of dissapointing.

It was on the Sundance Channel twice todayso if you have DirecTV or a service that carries the Sundance Channel - watch the listingsit may come on again really soon. I saw it for the first time today actually (I'm a big Matthew Modine fan) and I loved this movie (though I could have done without the many scene's of his ass).
Anyways - yeah, chances are it will be on again soon, so if you have the Sundance Channel - it may be on within the next couple days
