It's Just a Game is a great example of what can be done with good writing, a fun cast, and a small budget. It has moments that make you scream, squirm, and laugh. The movie starts out one way and then changes course and gears so smoothly it's really an enjoyable ride.

Finally Duncan MacLeod has made it to the big screen. But what to do with Connor? The whole movie tries to focus on one then the other and kind of slips between the cracks. Overall I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. There is some explanation to the Highlander 2-3 fiascos but there isn't a whole lot of reasoning given to why Connor is still immortal. Go see this if you are a die hard fan of the movies and have a good idea of the series characters. Otherwise you will be totally lost. For the Scotland buffs there is some magnificent footage of Scotland that just takes your breath away. This movie is worth the $5.00 matinee price but I wouldn't invest in popcorn too.

Feel like renting a movie that is great in a variety of ways? This movie is the one you want. Mel Gibson portrays a great wasted "shell of a man" who cares about no one but himself. His one man against both sides makes him the anti hero of the 1980's. Its too bad the next sequel left so much to be desired because this movie will always be one of my favorites.
