Kids, the only survivors of a shipwreck, survive on a paradise island.
It's interesting, but not great. I stopped just before reading the chapter "A View to a Death" because it had been boring up to that point, and I could tell it was going to spiral into stupidity without a proper lead and reason for it.

A military man of small renown and great skill is swept up into a conflict that engulfs his nation in war, driving a wedge between himself, his people and his love.
A movie the likes of which I've never seen and doubt I ever will again.

A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.
When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.

After meeting people trying to make it big in Hollywood movies, a criminal weans himself off of his old life to try it for himself.
Maybe it's because I saw it "back in the day", but even after re-watching it I still really like it.

I had low expectations for this movie, and they were met.
