Black Moon Rising

This week's film is an 80's action classic: Black Moon Rising.

This is another HBO movie, never making a theatrical release.
But it was written by John Carpenter - 'nuff said?

No? OK. It stars Tommy Lee Jones, before he got really famous, as a thief hired by the FBI to steal records from a company they've been investigating. Things take a turn toward the complicated when he has to hide the tape in a prototype car....which then gets stolen.

This is a good heist movie with a lot of realistic action, even tho the super car isn't realistic, the characters don't bounce right back up after they're knocked down. And the acting is good for an 80s action flick.

Rent this if you're in the mood for a no-brainer action flick.
