It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
How sad is this?
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Blistering performances.
Sometimes you are mislead by an IMDb-score, and this is one of those films which deserves more praise. Currently on a 5,1 score, this film is definitely a 7.Don't trust the haters here. They will be many, since this has graphic sex between teenagers, and not in that matter your average teenage flick. The flick scores on tension and realistic feel. This is a sexy teenager flick with haunting dark sides, which will give any teenager at least an erotic sensation. It's made in the early nineties, but it really has a feel of a 80'ies film, in the golden video age. One of those you rented and made your world back then.The title says it all. It's about a 17 year old getting blown away in teenage love, to a sexy rich mysterious dream girl. A girl which really early on gives a feel of being a classic femme fatale. A girl which sometimes is sweet as a cutie, but as soon as the sex is over she tends to go cold as ice, running away playing with the young teenagers feelings. To complicate it more, she has an seemingly insane father, and he has a quite dodgy brother.This film certainly has it's weaknesses, but to way up the weaknesses there's many things which makes this interesting to watch. OK I admit it's sometimes a bit cheesy, but weighing up this in very sincere play by many involved. Sometimes the logics are failing, in a very humane way. The film has some steaming hot young sex scenes, leaving less to imagination than usual are, though not showing more than small teenage boobs. Acting very realistically showing the sexual tension and lust of teenagers in love.I think acting is very good all over. Corey Haim probably does his role of his (way too short) life here. Showing some real talent. Teenage girls watching this back in the nineties must really have had a defining moment. Fellow Corey Feldman is probably the least favorite here, though he's most certainly to show a less sympathetic young man. THis type of film, a sexy thriller, often fails. This doesn't due to a smart script and great acting from the youngsters. The film has some dark humor, most often presented as the Colombo-style detective, sometimes analyzing, sometimes talking dirty. Always giving impression he knows what's going on, except not able to prove anything. Filming is great, effects less since the explosions don't hit the mark, though they are colorful enough. Twist and turns are great, and the film is very engaging when you decide to give it a chance. You should, if you're not easily offended by a little sex on screen.
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
Blown Away is probably the best thriller that was made.I love thriller like this.First the movie was great,great plot,great cast and great acting.Only three thrillers were the best that i like,Blown Away,Trade Off,were plays Adam Baldwin and False Pretense all three are the best thrillers that was made.They not doing thrillers anymore like this.The best thing about this thriller is that the good guy on the end wins that's the best.I watch more thrillers and nobody of this movies compares with this one,too bad is only that that Nicole Kidman was not here she were be better in this movie.Also Nicole Eggeret is one of the best actress and she is really good in this movie,she also made another great thriller Secret Walls is one of the best thriller,too bad they not released on DVD.I'm a huge fan of Nicole Eggert since she started in Baywatch i always watch her movies and also hat a huge crush on her since she was regularly cast on Baywatch.But i'don't understand one thing,how come some people criticize this movie and say it is the worst ,but it's not,i'sad before they not doing movies like this anymore.I use to watch thriller's Wild Things all three and i can say they are the worst movies that was ever made,how can some people claims that there are the best in the genre,but there not,how can they made sequels like that,they were the worst movies of the genre.Blown Away is one of the best thrillers.Great cast and playing of Corey Haim were he plays a hero and Nicole Eggert and Corey Feldman they were great in this movie,i' just not understand on thing,why Corey Feldman almost plays a bad guy,why he not get some leading role were he wold play a good guy,that would be great.When you are big fan of a thrillers stay with this one,you will not be disappointing.
I originally saw this masterpiece when I was very young and I still remember it quite vividly. It left a great impression on me, at least the actress did! I was a bit confused about why the mother died but it doesn't really matter. The father is a scary and obsessive man, but I would be nervous if my daughter looked like her. Also Corey Feldman does a strange bust in at the end of the movie, he is dark as usual, kinda like the lost boys. The cinematography is a bit artsy when they shoot the inside of the girls house, but it also because it is very contemporary looking. All in all it is very good if you just want to see some explosions and hot love! Again the sex scenes made me want to be older when I was young! A nice rent.
