Strongest in its quieter, more solemn moments. Looks great, even in a low quality rip, but nothing to write home about for me.

80s film stock, having torn up everything contemporary in its path, evidently couldn't stop there and felt the need to ruin the aesthetic of one of old Hollywood's greatest directors. Despite that Fuller's obviously still at the peak of his game; even more than Hawks, he's all about movement and timing but to a very different end. I haven't been afraid of dogs since I was a kid but this reignited some of that. It's frightening in a lot of ways actually I'm guessing the dissenting remarks about its vapidity come from the same crowd who hate on Showgirls, i.e. object to a classical style of writing and acting within modern films; I found it to be one of the more coherent pieces of philosophy on film.
