i think the idea behind this film and story line be absolutely fantastic and i love the idea of a huge prison exist where the prisoner be on their own to survive and must live amongst themselves . great idea . the only real complaint i have about this film be the cheesy line throughout the film and kurt russell stupid whisper voice and and the music . for most of the film kurt russell do an excellent job and but there be a few scene where i couldn not stand the way he talk . a for the music and i be unsure whether the blame lie with the fact that this film be make in the early 1980 or if it reside with john carpenter choice of music ( i do not like the music in just about any of his film ) . all of that aside and i think the film be very good and definitely one of john carpenter best . john need to stick to movie like this and i think it safe to say that it movie like this that fan appreciate . anyhow and if you be a fan of john carpenter and then you must see this film . if youre a fan of futuristic action or adventure film and then you also must check this out . i hope you enjoy the film and thanks for reading and chris .
