My Review-

This movie was everything I heard it was going to be, a really bad good movie. Also it has Patrick Swayze in it how can someone go wrong with him in the 80s? Some of the best parts were the bar scenes with Swayze in some other parts when he interacted with people in the town, the romantic scenes were so so. I think the movie got even better when Sam Elliot arrived in the movie, that's when it really kicked in for me once more since the fight scenes were also really cool. For an 80s movie I was really digging the one liners that came in every now and then, and the main villain was pretty cool and at times i actually wanted him to succeed. There were some parts here and there that I thought were a little to cheesy and cliche, but hey it was a movie from the 80s so it was bound to happen. I think most of the time I was hypnotized by Swayze's hair it was long and wavy and it seems like he was the only one who could pull it off. There were also some scenes that I really dug, mostly the big bar fight scenes or when he was just being his Swayze self being all charming and shit I should watch other movies with Patrick Swayze since I have never seen that many to begin with and I know that he is good actor from what I have been told, so I would like to see more of the movies that he acted in. I actually expected the climax of the movie to be a lot better instead it ended on kind of a joke which was a downer, I wanted the ending to be a little better, other than that the movie was enjoyable.
