FIREFOX was better than I expected. I thought it would take forever to get started but I was only bored during a few scene's later in the film. I actually enjoyed the scene's leading up to when he steals the plane.

I thought the airplane action sequences were very good, though the f/x were are a bit dated.

There were a few problems with the film. One thing is right after Eastwood steals the plane there are a bunch of boring scene's with the Russian generals blabbing on in a control room. Also the part when he lands on the iceberg made the film drag a bit.

Aside from a few dull scene's FIREFOX is a very enjoyable action-thriller that I enjoyed very much. 4/5

I finally watched this movie and I must say I was a little disappointed. Not that I thought it was a bad movie, just that I did'nt think it was as good as everybody says. The problem I had was the pacing was slow throughout a lot of the movie, especially the first 40 minutes or so. Also, aside from the ending chase on the bridge, the action sequences were not very exciting, which is a shame.

What I like about it was the cast was very good. Kurt Russell was good in what I think was his first tough guy role. I also thought Ernest Borgnine, Harry Dean Stanton, Lee Van Cleef, and Isaac Hayes were all good in their roles as well.

Overall, I think this movie is overrated, but it has some enjoyable moments mainly thanks to a good cast. 3/5

I am a big fan of prison film's as well as the television series "Oz", which is probably the best show on tv, and I have to say that LOCK UP is better than people say. It's not gripping like "Oz" and not a classic like THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION but it's good no-brainer entertainment. Stallone fit his role well, and I like John Amos as the chief prison guard. Donald Sutherland was okay but he's had better roles. I enjoyed the fight scene's and the football game as well.

Overall, a pretty good prison film that is good entertainment. 3.5/5
