"There's something there in the first act to indicate Clooney was ready to go on a darker HAIL CAESAR ish journey around the ideology of a movie star. Sadly he got lumped with a highly overrated director and a shitty script as his proverbial chauffeur."

"I'm very impressed with what has been spun-off from this - a sequel no on seems to have love for, a legacy sequel recast TV show that's ran for four+ years many seem to have high regard for - given that... at its core level... it is complete trash."

"For any other director ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK would be the standout masterpiece on their CV. But John Carpenter's ENTIRE output from 1976 to 1988 is one of the best directorial runs of all time."
