Target

About This Movie

Target (1985) has this gritty, late-night vibe that’s hard to shake off. It blends action and thriller elements pretty well, though it's not without its flaws. The pacing can be a bit uneven, with some stretches feeling drawn out, while others rush through key moments. The practical effects, especially during the action sequences, give it a raw authenticity that you don’t see as much today. The father-son dynamic adds an emotional layer, with the Texan searching for his kidnapped wife driving the plot. Sure, it’s got some typical 80s tropes, but there's a certain charm in its execution. The performances, especially from the lead, lend a grounded feel to the otherwise tense atmosphere. Definitely a film that embodies its era's spirit, even if it doesn't break new ground.
