Another classic that was great for the time, but feels weirdly comical or questionable today. The camera work is top notch, what do you expect with Steven Spielberg at the helm. However, the haunts for the most part have lost their edge.

That might have saved this movie from just getting dumped on. It has all the vibes of a film student horror movie, trying to make their way through it with a heady ending that either negates the entire movie, or clicks like a light bulb depending on how you saw the movie.

There are some solid scenes that will make your skin crawl if you are not careful, but mostly, you should be applauding since they ALL deal with young cast members. The kids in this movie do an outstanding amount of work, while the adults kind of just coast.

This is a classic and I can see why it would scare people... in 1978. Today, I think we are desensitized to things like this. The best thing I saw was the undertaker sit up by Michael in the background.

With some many questions about this guy, you could have spent more time explaining how he may or may not have been schizophrenic. It is labeled the most expensive manhunt in FBI history, how so? This movie does nothing to make the FBI look good, to make Ted look good or mad, or anything at all.

Not because of the way they made her look badass, but because of her devotion to the belief of what she was doing. When she found out that things were not as she was told, she followed the letter to ensure things didn't happen to someone else like it happened to her.

This is a wild story. Something that I don't think would work these days with the cost of things now compared to even 10+ years ago. I also can't imagine have a friend group so strong that people fly each year to go play tag. Mainly because I have never lived anywhere long enough

Let's start with the acting/writing. I legit felt like I was the 90s of Mortal Kombat. They even call it out with "No one wants to see an old man doing karate poses" when that is all he does. There is even this over the top choreography moment between Johnny and Baraka that looks more like a dance

I think Milly Alcock does a great job in her role though. I don't have an issue with her role or how she plays it, but the writing was miserable. The amount of cliché, tag lines, one-liners that are way off the mark, and just lazy characters is kind of miserable.

I had never thought of Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill working together, but they were outstanding. They played their roles so well that it did feel like they had been doing movies together for a long time. They have great chemistry together in a brotherly fashion.

Alec Baldwin is an "ok" Jack Ryan. For sure not my favorite, but there could have been worse choices. I think for the time and how the character is written in the book, he does make a better choice for the studious and almost nerdy version we have from the book.

There are some stellar action and acting here. There is also some terrible acting. I am honestly really surprised by the limited amount of people who can say they enjoyed the movie, because people love high octane movies and this is one of them. At the same time, I can see the argument for it...
