A funny drama though nothing dramatic happens which is why I liked it so much. It is basically just blokes hanging out and having a laugh. It is incredibly alive and a celebration of being young. To be lazy, it is Dazed and Confused goes to college but less wordy and no seriousness to it.

Hardcore(1979) the film stars George C. Scott as a Calvinist minister whose daughter Kristen disappears while on a church uhmm sponsored field trip to California. So he ends up hires a private investigator, the father than discovers his daughter has become a porn actress. Pretty gripping and powerful most especially thanks to George C. Scott who is utterly convincing in his role. I really enjoyed how it went from his relatively quiet peaceful life to the seediness and the scum he encounters in California, its a real eye opener for us the viewer and Scott's character. The story and pacing keeps you entirely engaged(never felt like it dragged on which is very important to me) from start to finish and we as the viewer really want to know what has happened to his daughter too. I'd definitely give this 9/10. A must for any Scott fan. |
