oh i feel dirty now and i actually like this movie . of course it be some typical 80 cheese but i also have the feeling that the maker really do not think that they be make something classic . it pretty good for what it be while a simple 80 revenge flick and with basically every 80 ingredient in it thinkable . yes this movie have 80 write all over it . fast sport car and crazy dress punk and roller skate and bad 80 music and of course 80 star charlie sheen in it and just before his platoon role and which really mark his breakthrough . the movie and it story be keep fairly simple and because of that the movie also feel very straight forward and which definitely be a plus for these type of movie . the main plot line and fun character be interest enough to keep your interest . it a pretty crazy concept and the movie mix numerous movie type and such a science fiction and action and horror and a racing movie and drama and much more . it impossible to label just one genre to this movie and it even more difficult to say how to describe this movie . it a cheesy silly b movie and that because of that also at the same time become very entertaining to watch . the movie have some nice look race and the wraith car be just basically every teen boy and from the 80 and dream . also the other car in the movie be really great and despite the fact that i be really normally not a car type of person . let be fair and charlie sheen have never be on any great actor list and this movie make you see why . he too flat in his role but luckily he isn not feature that much in the movie and at least not as much a you would expect from the amain character . the movie more focus on the gang of drag racer and who be the bad guy of the movie and and on whom the wraith take revenge and for kill him in the past . the gang feature actor such a a young nick cassavetes ( who now day be perhaps well know a a director ) and clint howard in it . far more and randy quaid also play a role in the movie a the sheriff . he good in his role but he not really support by most of the other actor in this movie and which also make his performance look bad at time . a very enjoyable and good look and silly and cheesy and typical 80 flick and that you just have to take for what it be . positive .
