A good movie

When I was about 12 years old, I actually saw this flick at the movie theater when it was released. To be honest, I'm not sure if it was really appropriate or anything for me to watch it at that age but I had a good time and I eventually never forgot it. Eventually, I watched it again 20 years later and, to be honest, I thought it was still pretty good. Basically, it is a very dark and sardonic comedy directed by Robert Zemeckis. Furthermore, you had a pretty cool cast (Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, Isabella Rossellini) and they all delivered some decent performances, above all, Bruce Willis who played against his usual type very well here. On top of that, the special effects which were quite awesome when I was a kid and still hold up pretty good nowadays (You can say whatever you want about Robert Zemeckis but the guy is and has always been a special effects wizard). I must admit that the story was rather messy and it is not surprising since the film underwent some major re-editing after some negative feedback was received during the test screenings. I guess I like it above all out of nostalgia but I still think it is a nice black comedy. To conclude, it is a rather forgotten and obscure dark feature but I think it is actually worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
