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.

Lack's performance is pretty weak and pedestrian, but I think everyone else is great.

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.

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

"It's a strong early 80s type of acting"
There is such a thing as "early 80s type of acting"?

It's a reasonably strong cast and I didn't find the acting too bad.

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.
