This movie is so action pack that it blows the top off the soon to be obsolete, Die Hard. If you thought Brucy Willis was great, just wait until you see what Mel has done. Contrary to popular belief, this Thrilla in Manila does not take place in the Philippines. Rather, in PR. And on top of that, during a never-ending thunderstorm that only Californians could be jealous of. Nonetheless, this close quarters, jaw dropping, head blowing, tiger eating, full of miracles is worthy of an Oscar consideration in my opinion.
