It seems this is regarded as one of the best films of the eighties, if that's true then it has dated very very badly. Basically all the film is for a very long 125 mins is one stunt scene after another, which I admit are cleverly orchestrated but it doesn't a make a good film. The way it's directed so you don't know if it's real or not isn't fair to the audience and gets extremely irritating very quickly. Even the acting O'Toole included seems way too erratic to be believable. I'm sure if your a stunt man or in the industry you might enjoy it but I thought it self-indulgent and tedious. It might just be one of the worst films not just of the eighties. (1/10)
