Pearce’s Film Reviews
241 Films have been rated or reviewed by Pearce.
Jagged Edge (1985)
Joe Eszterhas gender–flipped this as Basic Instinct and both scripts are about as good as each other, which just shows what a phenomenal director Paul Verhoeven is because that one's great and this one's shit.
Shogun Assassin (1981)
People complaining that it's the "dubbed version" miss the point – this is a new movie made of scenes from two other movies. Very well done, great new soundtrack. If you want it subtitled, get Lone Wolf and Cub.
Shaft in Africa (1973)
If you want to see Shaft's shaft this is your best bet, keep your finger on that Pause button.
Hardware (1990)
When you lose a lawsuit because your movie ripped off a three page comic strip, I'd hope you added more to the mix than this.
Step Into Liquid (2003)- Why was Chis (X–Files) Carter in this? I watched it with the sound off and music on so I'll probably never know.
'R Xmas (2002)- Ice–T gave an interview about the first time he got to see this movie that's absolutely perfect. Look it up!
Funeral, The (1996)- Who knew Chris Penn could sing? Heck, who knew he could act?
King of New York (1990)- This and Deep Cover are the best neo noir movies of their era.
Angel of Vengeance (Ms.45) (1981)- One of the best movies of its type, thanks to subversive style and a hypnotic performance by the lead.
Death Race 2000 (1975)
- This is good, but according to people who worked on it Roger Corman was unhappy when a test audience laughed so much and cut out the best jokes. It must have been a real gut–buster!
