1.0 out of 5 stars aka Marine Issue, September 9, 2001
By Peter Shelley "petershelley" (Marrickville, New South Wales Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
There was a time when Michael Pare had some integrity as an actor in films like Eddie and The Cruisers, but for some inexplicable reason, he took the action hero route a la Sly and Arnold, thereby abandoning the pretence of craft in favour of guts and glory. Walter Hill's Streets of Fire was perhaps the perfect combination of Pare's romantic tough guy appeal. Perhaps his sense of machismo resented how his initial success stemmed from his physical beauty. Pare is still beautiful in this film directed by Christopher Bentley, even a bar room brawl has homoeroticism, but he has minimised himself to playing a humourless and sexless Marine Corp sergeant Scott Youngblood who visits Madrid to see his sister, who has been killed by the local bad guys. Bentley gives Pare a shower scene with multiple mirror reflection, but then focuses on Tawny Kitaen joining him in it. Kitaen is the ubiquitious female but thankfully her sense of humour livens things up. She looks a bit like Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson though she has bad model hair, but scores a laugh when she tells Pare to "get offa my lungs". Pare himself scores a laugh with his "not interested" in deadpan to a female hustler at the bar which precedes the brawl. Given that this is an actioner, Bentley supplies the necessary screen footage of brawls, car chases, and shootouts, but I also liked the way bulls are used as decoys as a nice contextual touch since the film was made in Spain and it appears that the extras are dubbed. There is a cut from a gun aimed at someone to a gun fired at target practice, a drug deal exchange deafened by the noise of a tunnel water fountain, but also a frig being opened in a dark room by the photographer to get a beer after he had warned Pare about entering when the red light is on. The screenplay by Craig T Rumar features awful lines like "I gotta do it first and I gotta do it fast" and the photographer to Pare "God help me if you're not Captain America" and "You poor fool". The Pare/Kitaen shower scene is noteworthy for being neither romantic or erotic, more Bentley unable to help Kitaen expose her acting limitations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big, Bad, Terrible Movie., April 22, 2002
By Jason Williams (Nixa, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
...I wont go into the synopsis of plot as it has alredy been addressed...This movie is so incredulously ridiculous that its worth having just to sit and make fun of. All the action in this movie is such [fake].. Guy goes AWOLL and commits violation after violation of every code in the U.C.M.J. and the Corps. just overlook those little discretions and roll out the red carpet for him to come back?! Get real. This isn't even good make believe. Lousy acting too...

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow--what a horrendously BAD film., February 7, 2006
Bad acting. Bad writing. Bad storyline. Bad shower scene. It almost seemed like the script was improvised by the actors.

This movie actually contains a scene where the good guys are trapped in a bullring with bulls let loose. WHAT??? Oh, right...it's set in Spain. Gotta have bulls. Completely out of any context other than geographic.

BAD.
