Not a great film, but I've seen much worse, and Arn kicks ass and has some cringeworthy one liners
Loosely from a book by Stephen King I believe, it is another of those love it or hate it films.
Also,
it starred Mick Fleetwood as a resistance fighter. (Yes THAT one)
In a line of dialogue he taks about "Stevie"
Not forgetting Jessie Ventura who's in it too, who was also in Predator.
He later went on to be the Governor of Minnesota, go figure!
Yup, based on a King Novella, though under one of his Pseudonyms, Richard Bachman.
Another film of King's made from a book under this name was "Thinner"...unfortunately a pretty crap film!
