Came across it recently and watched it last night. In the first 10 minutes I knew this movie was going to be enjoyable. Swayze’s character was a stand out from the beginning.
Even at close to 2 hours, which honestly is pushing it for movies that are mainly action, it didn’t drag at all.
I don’t know if I’ll ever see the 2024 version, but I can say the original deserves its praise.
