Not being biased, but I love this film and not just because of the era when it was made. It has a great story, great action sequences. Patrick Swayze is very convincing and has good cast choices in supporting roles like John C McGinley and Gary Busey. I think it is also a great performance from Keanu Reeves and the role was born for him I reckon. I feel the film is a strong blend of action and crime thriller.
