Gave this a rewatch for the first time in a long time. It’s a terrific looking disc, hand full of soft looking shots, mainly the heavily composited shots, but really fantastic on the whole.
Film still stands up as a brilliant thriller (93’ was a cracking year) , with only the romantic sub plot feeling a little icky. I quite like that Clint’s age is very much acknowledged throughout and the fact that they frequently call out that he looks like he’s regularly on the cusp of a heart attack in the action scenes made me chuckle.
They don’t really make these kind of thrillers anymore. Pity, I grew up on these sort of nuts & bolts action thrillers.
