Blown Away (1993)

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

That was the year when we wanted to see them all together - Nicole Eggert, and two Coreys - Haim and Feldman. Plus, here is gorgeous beauty Kathleen Robertson of Beverly Hills 90210 fame. And yes, yes, there is so much nudity, not so explicit, but still, some. In the 90's that was quite OK. Can this all work? Nope, this cannot work. Nicole is a mediocre actress, to say the least, she is a sweet lady with excellent body, but hey, this is not Baywatch or something of this kind, here you want a bit more than that. Nicole cannot deliver it all well. Both Coreys are, well, typical young teen handsome guys who look swell but never perform well. The whole plot is OK, twisted and sometimes very captivating. But then, very son, one can easily predict the next scene and then next. And then say with a high probability, who the main culprit was. So, often even a nudity and sex scenes do not save the weak film form being weak. They add some thrill to younger watchers but leave bored after all. My advice - watch it once and forget quickly. This is not a work of art or likewise

This is actually, if you are a particular about acting like I am, the second best acting job of Haim's career. He is mostly believable and can carry a long scene by himself, unlike Feldman (whom I am not dissing on!). It may be different now, but this was near Haim's pinnacle of acting. Pay attention, you'll be rewarded.So, that was a treat, knowing he at least made it into his 20's, before he started overacting and being silly.People rate this a bit lower than it deserves, I think. Probably based on the sex, etc. Sure, I agree, this is an exploitation on Basic Instinct's popularity at the time, but it was a suitable and not a particularly bad knock-off. I look at it as a young-adult romance thriller with taboo nudity...Just keep in mind, these kids were well into their early 20's, not some baby's. So, it is perfectly natural to feel attracted to them...it's not license to drive, folks! Nicole and The Corey's have always looked younger than they were.So, if you like tense thrillers with unsettling moments, or just want to see Haim and Nicole naked, this is a solid B-Flick.Check it out.

Corey Haim stars as Rich a horny guy who falls for a sexy blonde (Nicole Eggert) who wants to kill her father out of vengeance for the car-bomb murder of her mother, however Haim must make choice to follow his lust or do the right thing. I'm somewhat shocked at exactly this is almost at a 5 out of 10, when this movie is just so damn awful. However it is funny though. Imagine a soap opera with Melrose Place styled antics (Complete with the meat headed guys and slutty girls) made with the two Coreys. Nicole Eggert is indeed a hot little number, sure and her sex scenes to provide some mild interest but let's face it, once you're a certain age a movie must hold more interest to you than just seeing naked women going down on Corey Haim. So with that in mind the story is just so laughably lame, however it is bad enough that it makes you want to puke but stupid enough to make you howl with laughter. It is so bad it could only star the two Coreys. I mean if not for the Demolition High series, this could very well be the funniest movie Corey Haim ever made.* out of 4-(Bad) (Take off a 1/2 star if you can't laugh at a bad movie)

Not much time to review, but I have to say, this is one of Coreysx2 best! I was not disappointed with this one. Brenton Spencer is a very capable director...it seems he brought out the best in his cast. Feldman was the epitome of help at the lodge. I believed he was a fix it up guy the moment he set foot on screen! Haim just shows how talented he is with this one...has never been better. I dont want to bore you with details of the movie...watch for the terrific acting. Look for Vladimir Bondarencio as Officer 1.
