Never Say Die

About This Movie

So, 'Never Say Die' is this quirky blend of action and comedy from the late '80s, starring Morrison as Alf Winters, an investigative journalist. The film kicks off with a bang—literally—when his house explodes just after his American girlfriend, Melissa (played by Eilbacher), arrives. It gives you this immediate sense of danger and urgency. The pacing swings between frantic chases and lighter, character-driven moments, which keeps it engaging. The performances have this earnest charm, and while the plot can feel a bit convoluted, it’s the practical effects and the sheer absurdity of some of the scenarios that stand out. You can tell it’s a product of its time, but there's something endearing about how it tackles themes of loyalty and survival amidst chaos.
