Gleaming the Cube (1989)

***½

It's been a weird few weeks and purely coincidental of course, that I have managed to screen the greatest BMX movies of all time, in Rad and BMX Bandits, followed by the greatest skateboard ones in Thrashin' and Gleaming the Cube. I have loved all of them equally.

I really enjoyed this one and i've decided to hand it the exact same rating as Thrashin'.
Christian Slater is fantastic and so too is Richard Herd as the main gun smuggler. The plot is fantastic and such a throwback to the 80's. Only in that decade would movies like these be made.

If a gun was pointed at my head i'd probably say that Thrashin' is the better film experience, but this one is technically a better film. Check both of them out though, maybe as a double bill screening.
