Stick

About This Movie

Stick (1985) has this gritty, almost raw vibe that really fits the 80s action-crime aesthetic. The pacing's a bit uneven, but it adds to the tension as Stick navigates the underbelly of crime after losing a friend. The practical effects during the action scenes have a certain weight to them, which really grounds the drama. The performances are decent, with a subtle intensity that captures the desperation of Stick's situation. It's all about survival and the choices that lead you deeper into danger. It might not be a household name, but there's a certain charm in its rough edges that resonates with a specific audience. Definitely a film that lingers in your mind.
