Query: MUCH better than expected

Despite a terrible collection of reviews this is a damn entertaining film and well worth watching. A good "people under siege" film with lots of action and a tongue in cheek style it's great fun. VERY unfairly dismissed it's one of Carpenter's better films and deserves a fresh look. Better than Escape From LA this DVD is a good presentation with a great commentary track and some informative behind the scenes features. Don't listen to the critics, it's a very entertaining movie with comic book characters that are never dull. I think Carpenter was spot on with this film and a lot of people missed the point. It's not meant to be serious, it's a fun-fair ride and works well when viewed on that level. Give it a go. Worth buying for sure.
