## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Kurt Russell. A lot of stars from the era. Filmed around St. Louis, MO.
*by D***E on May 26, 2025*

Classic Kurt Russell. Filmed mostly in St. Louis. The majority of buildings it was filmed in or around have since been revitalized and are thriving businesses again. The scene with the fight in the boxing ring was filmed in the lobby of Union Station which was once one of the busiest train stations in America. Although abandoned at the time, it has since been rehabbed around 2000 and is now a very, very nice hotel and a tourist attraction. The main lobby is now the hotel lobby. You can imagine the boxing ring sitting there while checking in. Pretty cool. The final scenes were filmed on the Chain of Rocks bridge. It was part of the original Route 66. The bridge is also a tourist attraction open to pedestrians and bicycles from both sides. From the bridge you get great views of the St. Louis skyline and the Mississippi River. On the Missouri side is a brand new park!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Greatest Films ever Made!
*by J***. on April 20, 2023*

So, at first this movie made me feel old. I love John Carpenter and had seen most of his films (including the sequel to this and my step-father simply told me the plot of this film while we watched that,) but I had not yet seen this all the way through.So, here's the plot, around a year before I'm born (I'm 40) crime is getting really out of hand in America. By the time I'm in Kindergarten (the future when this was made,) crime is out of control and they turn New York into a giant, walled off prison unit for the whole country. This film's narrative opens in the far future (my freshman year of high school) where Kurt Russell is the only person that can save the president of the United States (Dr. Loomis from the original Halloween pictures,) from the Prison of New York City and also deliver to him a valuable recording that could end an ongoing war for the United States.As always, Carpenter and Hill had incredible attention to detail adding stuff you'll never forget like the voice speaker during the opening scene telling criminals they can simply elect to be immediately murdered and cremated and their cremains will be transferred to family and etc...4k Blu-ray is really a format where little things like this stand out in a home theater setting and you catch everything that John snuck in there.This is my third John Carpenter 4k disc (I also own The Thing and They Live) and I cherish it like I do the Blue Underground Italian discs. I met him one time at a convention, and it was a good time. He kept teasing Nick Castle trying to get a rise out of him. He definitely commanded a presence like he could run the show effectively FOR SURE. That must be why he's so successful.That impressed me and I always remembered it. It was nothing he said specifically but just him in general, he set the tone subtly with his presence and you know this guy runs the show, lol. I'm the boss at work, so I respect things like that. It was the first time I got to meet a hero and they were exactly what I hoped they'd be in my wildest dreams.Great movie, great film maker, buy this damn thing and watch it already! Watch Kurt Russel kick ass and know that I'm sitting in a dimly lit room experiencing sex ed during this same time period! 1997 forever! Carpenter forever! Russell forever! Pleasance forever! Also, the dude that played the angel Gabriel in Disney's One Magic Christmas is in this movie. You're welcome. If you watch it every year, you'd be trying to figure out like hell who that guy is. I know I was until I remembered during the second act!
