Walter Hill produce this unique noir in 1984 when nobody thought about doing a noir. Set in an indistinct time with a mix of different genres, the movie feels like it's part comic book, part rock-and-roll musical, part action film.
Brilliant direction by Hill, the best parts of this movie is the feel, gritty dialogue, and incredible visuals. This isn't a movie that's afraid to be a movie. You feel utterly transported into a world that feels like a parallel universe of different places, times, and characters jumbled together into a world that both feels familiar and strange at the same time.
A box office bomb at the time, this is a movie to watch for anyone who loves, and is interested in movies and movie making. For everyone else, it's still a wild ride, and well worth a watch.
