A lot of creativity is going on here and this is perfect Midnight Movie material. I still love it! See more Nick B @Yoshmin64 Dec 4 One of Carpenter’s best films, Escape from New York is an all-time classic. His vision of Manhattan as a massive prison is striking, and his moody, minimalist direction gives the movie its dark, memorable atmosphere. Kurt Russell is great as Snake Plissken, bringing intensity, like when he threatens Hauk, dry humor, such as his "playing with yourself" line, and a strong sense of mystery, with many assuming he was dead. He completely breaks from his earlier image and creates one of the great antiheroes of the ’80s. The supporting cast adds plenty of personality — Lee Van Cleef’s hard-edged Hauk, Harry Dean Stanton’s crafty Brain, Adrienne Barbeau’s tough beauty, and Isaac Hayes’s commanding Duke all help flesh out the world. Carpenter’s legendary score, especially the classic theme, is another standout, giving the film its cool, distinctive vibe. Overall, Escape from New York remains a cool, creative masterpiece powered by Carpenter’s atmosphere and Russell’s iconic performance. See more Read all reviews
