Yet another 80's supercar movie, but the car doesn't take center stage in this one.  Tommy Lee Jones does.

Alright freeze! One move and you're both dead! You here me asshole?

Hey fine, no problem. There's the cash register. And right up there's the television camera. And there's a nice full face shot. How 'bout a profile? Look there's a couple of ways we can do this.

Fine. I'm just saying you gotta think these things through. You don't just come walking in to someplace, waving a gun around, and expect the world to put up with that. It's not acceptable behavior.

Hell no, go right ahead. Probably got a minute or two...

Maybe you don't. Just trying to help you son.

Grand Theft Auto, the 80&apos;s edition.

&quot;Black Moon Rising&quot; is a formulaic and predictable but nevertheless entertaining and fast-paced thriller based on a story originally written by no less than John Carpenter. Apparently he wrote it in the 70&apos;s already, but the content was admirably processed and adapted in order for the events to take place in a typically 80&apos;s setting with even faster cars and contemporary hot starlets like Linda Hamilton that are, in fact, most unattractive by today&apos;s standards. Tommy Lee Jones, on the other, rarely looked cooler than here in his role as super-thief Sam Quint. Quint is hired to steal a tape containing evidence against a dodgy company, but quickly finds himself chased by the company&apos;s fanatic security guards as well as his governmental employer. Quint hides the tape inside a prototype race car (one that reaches up to 350mph!), but before he has a proper opportunity to recover it, the wheels get stolen by a professionally organized syndicate of car thieves. That&apos;s how Quint meets and gradually falls for Hamilton&apos;s character Nina, as she&apos;s a sly and experienced kleptomaniac! &quot;Black Moon Rising&quot; is a prototypic example of an action movie in which one little handling (like hiding a tape in the truck of a car) snowballs into a gigantic avalanche of clichéd but even so enjoyable situations until a grotesque finale is inevitable. In this case the finale involves an impressive piece of stunt car driving at great height. Literally! It&apos;s a forgettable and lightweight 80&apos;s action movie, but Harry Cokeliss&apos; direction is fairly competent and the dull moments can easily be count on the fingers of one hand. Robert Vaughn is on automatic pilot (pun intended) in his confident role of relentless crime boss and there are some neat cameos from familiar names like Keenan Wynn, William Sanderson and Richard Jaeckal. Nothing special, but definitely a fine choice if you seek mindless rainy-Sunday afternoon entertainment.
