  Not Ridley's best, but satisfying none the less

  Michael Douglas still looked old in the 80's
  
  Yeah not a bad film, it was quite good but lacked something and I'm not sure what. Still worth watching though.

  It's just 80's rubbish
  
  Ridley Scott is a fantastic film maker, and there is nothing much wrong with the actual direction of the film, but it's just plain 80's cheese, and I ... read more »

  Bad DVD Transfer
  
  This DVD transfer is the worst I have come across.
  
  My VHS version of Black Rain is better quality than this.
