DEFINITELY A VALUABLE + IMPORTANT "TOUGH WOMAN MOVIE"
BUT NOT THIS ONE !!
*** I would not call anything a SPOILER here, but maybe you disagree ?! ***
- she CAN run. but to give the bad guy a chance in return, she always is so stupid to leave him with his weapons. in this movie everyone has a gun (once they explain "we are in Texas!") and the bad guy is always able to grab some of them. then the heroine kicks him in the balls, against the head etc. - then you expect her to finish him, for example by taking his gun and blowing his head off, or at least making him do the old "hands up" - but instead she runs away (she is a good runner, indeed!), or only kicks the gun away, where he will grab it soon etc.
THIS IS THE MOVIE WITH THE MOST OPPORTUNITIES TO FINISH MR BAD GUY THAT MS GOOD GIRL DOES NOT SEIZE (instead she even causes more trouble) - all teenie slasher sequels are no competition for RETROACTIVE!
- the time machine sequences are too long. you wait for the next action scene IN TIME, but how the persons get into time does not matter. my advice: use the FAST FORWARD BUTTON whenever the heroine is entering those cellars!
- one of the few movies with a woman successfully running. most movies are so stupid, that the running lady seems incapable to control her feet. Most movies do not let her get further, let her stumble, fall, look disabled etc.
