Format:DVD
This is the archetypal "average" movie. Whilst not expertly handled by director Crichton (yes, Michael Crichton), Runaway at least succeeds in being reasonably interesting and very watchable. It's one of those movies that succeeds in being very enjoyable without actually being that good; there is something very comfortable about the tone of the whole film. Whilst most of the set-pieces could have been more tightly edited and paced, there is an undeniable consistency in the visuals throughout. And note has to be made of Gene Simmons (yes, from Kiss), who makes a convincing bad guy, and the subtle but workable chemistry between Tom Selleck and the glammed-down Cynthia Rhodes.
The film boasts an impressive electronic score by the legendary Jerry Goldsmith, done in the same year as his beautiful work on Ridley Scott's Legend, at which time Goldsmith was in the process of moving over to synthesizers. The closing theme, which plays out as Selleck and Rhodes kiss under showers of sparks, is exhiliarating.
The DVD is unremarkable, with a fairly good transfer and sound if nothing in the way of extras (unless you're still counting trailers).

But what can I say about this movie, One of the best performaces by Tom Selleck as a cop and the superstar of pop gene simmons who can reprograms robots, best science fiction action movie when it came to our screens in the 1984 in our time...

Format:VHS Tape
Excellent movie, illustrates fear of new technology and implications if something were to go wrong in the case of the robots that have a new chip that turns these once subtle machines into killers.

Glad I Ordered It
I loved this film, back in the '80s when it came out and watched it many, many times on video, largely because I had a major crush on Tom Selleck at the time! Read more
