The Hidden (1987)
3/10
seriously 7 / 10!

This movie was so dull and predictable. The Lloyd Gallagher character had the stiffest role I've ever seen in a movie in ages. He's right up there with the actor who plays Donald Ressler in The Blacklist or Aaron Hotchner from Criminal Minds. Both of which Can't act their way out of wet paper bags hobos urinated in.

The soundtrack is dull and forgetful and I love music from that era All nobody bands and so forth. You get nobodies rocking out their punk and rock soundtracks and then there's quiet scenes and this weird ambient music that doesn't seem fitting.

The only thing really saving this from a 1 star is that opening scene and the second person who steals the Ferrari. I love how they use the little trunk in the car dealerships office. Aside from that I think I'll remember Danny Trejo in his 5 seconds maximum he's in or the shootout on the rooftop with a woman more than anything. The build up to the ending was kind of uninspired but the last scene was pretty cool. You can tell most of the budget went to special effects.

There needed to be so much more thought to put into this before I'd try and sell my script to Hollywood if I wrote this dumpster fire. This is about as bad as MOST Netflix Originals. Would I watch this again? Never.
