I never saw this in theaters which I understand was pretty much what happened to it when it first debuted. I discovered it later as a rental. I loved it then and still love it now years later. I guess since it is a deliberate retro it can't really get dated like other movies.
I had no real problems with any of the acting jobs, each actor filled the role he/she played well. I always wondered why Bill Campbell didn't seem to go much further after this? Fun to see Terry O'Quinn as Howard Hughes before his "Lost" years.
This movie makes you feel good. An unpretentious and straightforward action flick, one of the best in that category. It is so amazing how movies like this can be made without needing overwhelming effects, big-name stars, sexual suggestions, or gore. I wish Hollywood could do this more often (and who would've expected this from Disney? - not any more).
The soundtrack main theme was wonderful as well, I think I've even heard it in some other movie (not sure how that could've happened). Rent this and watch it with the family, it is well worth it.
