“Donu0026#39;t let people sway you, folks. This movie is outstanding! It features some disreputable Southern stereotypes and death by roller coaster and lighter fluid, not to mention the brilliant actor John Philbin in a typically memorable performance as u0026quot;Gidu0026quot;. The production values are strong (including music by the great Lalo Schifrin) and the script is fast-paced and doesnu0026#39;t waste time with nuance or subtlety. There are pit bulls, lazy sheriffs, authentic Florida tourist trap backwoods locations, a pre-u0026quot;Masku0026quot; Eric Stoltz, and impressive mid-1980s fashions. What more can you ask for? A solid 7/10.”
