Sexiest black woman of all time Pam Grier kicks ass and looks great doing it. This film has everything you are looking for in a blaxploitation flick. Scatman Crothers and the bartender from the "Love Boat"; what else would you want? Great!

Modern example of surrealism which actually has a plot and brilliant actors. Chilling and bizarre, Dennis Hopper portrays the drug-hazed psychotic while Isabella Rosselini plays his masochistic girlfriend. Kyle McLaughlin is the innocent whose curiosity leads him to this dark world of sex and violence. David Lynch's greatest film.

This Robert Duvall directed film attempts to combine a crime thriller and a romance with the exotic charm of Argentina's national dance, the tango. While the characterizations are genuine, the film never quite gets off the ground as a thriller while it's romantic scenes are tepid at best. Duvall, acting wonderfully as usual, gives an interesting portrayal of an aging assassin with a gentle side and a love of life but his assignment seems to be a mere backdrop for highlighting the dance sequences. While his co-star and dance partner, newcomer Luciana Pedraza, also gives a realistic, believable performance, the two fail to heat up the screen.

While beautifully shot on the streets of Brooklyn and Buenos Aires and featuring a latin soundtrack, this film may be of interest only to dance lovers or Duvall fans.
