Who’s In It:
Tom Cruise is at his Tom Cruisiest here and Bryan Brown and Elisabeth Shue also star. Gina Gershon also shows up in what I believe to be a precursor to SHOWGIRLS

The Technical Gist
The hair is big, the colors are bright and it’s all pretty solid.

The movie’s a good healthy dose of the ideal 80s lifestyle with the one of the poster boys of the decade. The soundtrack is also pretty killer. QUEUE IT.
