An unbelievable cast, maybe the best of any movie in the 80’s. Seemed like every scene had a new familiar face in it.

But maybe the cast is a bit too good. Unfortunately, there’s not much of a story. That’s the easy pitfall with an ensemble cast. You want to tell everyone’s story, and none of them are interesting enough. It’s probably not impossible to write enough story for all of characters played by all the stars in this movie.

Lots of shoot-outs, but without the proper dramatic set-up, they aren’t that exciting.
