This movie really takes me back to my childhood and gives viewers the feeling of what it was like to be a young kid in the 80s. I've probably watched this movie over 100 times and i still put it on as background noise from time to time. When i was a kid i remember hanging out in the woods near my house with my friends and dreaming of finding some rich stuff like the goonies did. In HS we even had a chubby friend who we used to get to do the truffle shuffle for slurpees when we'd leave school for lunch. The whole film is just very charming and leaves you with a big smile on your face. Don't over think this one just put it on and enjoy a fun movie. :D.

There really was no story here at all, just a long shoot em up scene. The action in it was good, but i also felt like it was too much of a good thing. After a while you don't really appreciate the stunts because that's the entirety of the film. It was a little too straight forward and had a lot of side plots that never went any where. All that said, cinematographically it was a pretty film. It had some incredible back drops to the chaos. But if you just want an action flick that doesn't require any thought for a couple hours, i'd recommend it. Really as low as the bar is for films these days this isn't that bad. I'd give it a 6.5 if i could.

I put this on expecting it to be a stupid comedy that didn't really require my attention. But as i got further into it i found myself getting more and more interested. This is a great film, w a lot of layers. The acting was excellent and the fact that it's based on a true story really adds to it. I found myself surprised to see how much heart this movie actually had. I still can't believe i hadn't heard of it till i came across it randomly on apple tv. It was the best new movie i've seen in a while. I'd give it an 8.5 - 9 but i wanted to boost the number a little since i feel a lot of people would enjoy the film.
