d/ Paul Verhoeven
I've been reading that this film has become a cult item in some circles so I wanted to see why. I don't get it. It's a lot of fun to watch...a mix of strident militarism and self-mocking humor...lots of action, great antagonist...I mean big, ugly bugs and spiders. And who can forget the shower scene?
But other than being a retro-goof there's nothing there...nothing that would justify close study or reflection. You can't really laugh at it...it laughs at itself. It's a big, noisy bug hunt.
Do you want to know more?
