Best movie of this year hands down!
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Absolutely Fantastic
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
I love movies like this, but honestly....this is one of the few that I just can't watch anymore and I really can't understand why. It's not the quality, I've given 10 of 10 to a ton of badly made films just because they were like this.Movies like this were awesome...huge from the Golden Age of the Silver Screen into the '90s when they started to peter out until, well, until they vanished leaving us with nothing but Super Hero films to fill the void......I have nothing against Super Hero films, but I love adventure films too.I can see where folks would not like it, especially the people that take themselves too seriously. It is stuck in a genera that is at once extremely pulp and kind of serialized. Even if it's not a sequel, you know the story.The Goonies, Nate and Hayes, Jake Speed, Romancing the Stone, Vibes, Big Trouble in Little China, Young Sherlock Holmes...and of course the crown, the king, the Indiana Jones movies.They are all close enough to one another to really fit into the same mold. The characters change, the concepts stay the same and....we love it.Enter the Roguish hero and the damsel in distress in an exotic location to find X marking the MacGuffin, but first they have to work their way through obstacles both natural and man made in the form of a nasty antagonist and a couple of henchmen. Throw in a semi-bumbling sidekick and you have what I like to call "High Adventure." "Firewalker" follows that outline and if you are the kind of individual that is still young enough at heart to love adventure films...you will inevitably like this movie.If you are the kind of man or woman that takes everything extremely seriously and refuses to play at all, not matter what it is. If you are the type that would use the word "compete" instead of "play" or "game" than you are going to hate this movie.
Or "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" . Or "Indiana Jones and The Last crusade" . Or "Romancing the stone". Or "Jewel of the Nile" . I just gave you 5 better movies to watch instead of this piece of crap. It's not that I was expecting a masterpiece. I would be happy with a decent adventure movie . I like Louis Gossett Jr. . I don't mind Chuck Norris. J. Lee Thompson is a director of famous "Cape fear" . It's not strange that I hoped for some quality. It was also a chance to see Norris outside of his standard type of action movie."Firewalker " is a cheap movie . Cheap humor , production values , uninteresting action and lame dialogues. I think that even the awful "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of Crystal skull" was slightly better than this . Watch it only if you're a fanatic of adventure movies.I give it 1/10.
In the '80s Golan Globus made many action oriented movies that were entertaining and easy to enjoy. This one is another one of their movies that features Chuck Norris.These guys sure had the formula down. They were the Asylum of those days, borrowing ideas from other A list movies and making a spoof. The quality of this one is one of the best out of all the movies they've made. There's plot, there's story, and there're the actors.If not high on seriousness, the movie is high on entertainment value. World really looked different in the '80s. Things were much more light hearted. I'm not sure if the world we live in today is better than it was back then.Nice effort on the part of the producers, and the actors did just fine. One of the better Chuck Norris film from the '80s.
Chuck Norris and Lou Gossett are a couple of down-on-their-luck adventurers in this pale imitation of comedy-adventure movies like India Jones and Romancing the Stone. After their latest close escape from death they encounter a young lady in a down-at-heel South American bar who persuades them to hunt for some treasure or something. I don't know, I sort of lost interest at this point even though we were only ten or fifteen minutes into the movie. Firewalker is bad in all kinds of ways, none of which combine to make it a complete stinker, but which sort of sap you of the energy required to pick up the remote and switch channels. One thing that struck me as I watched was how chuck Norris managed to remain a fairly bankable action star for so long when even Lou Gossett's performance exposes his lack of acting ability. And how do they build those doors in mountain caves that slide up and down without anyone touching them?
