Christopher Walken Movie:

Editorial Review:
One of the overlooked films of the 1980s, perhaps because it is such a downbeat tale of an amoral family. Sean Penn plays a kid whose small-time criminal impulses are stoked to a new level when he falls in with his father (Christopher Walken), a vicious career criminal for whom no problem is so large that it can't be solved by a murder. At first exhilarated by the attention from his father (and the jobs he gives him to do), he gradually catches on to just what a bad guy Dad really is. But when he tries to extricate himself, he discovers that Dad now has him squarely in his sights. Penn is terrific in a role of emotional complexity, while Walken, king of the creeps, is positively frightening as this soft-spoken but highly lethal patriarch. --Marshall Fine

2009-09-19 - I have never gotten bad service or bad products from amazon. I will buy from them rather than any store in my area. Delivery is fast, so it makes it convenient for me. This item was a gift to my daughter, and i was able to ship it directly to her house. How convenient is that?!!!? you are #1 with me all the way.

This is a GREAT movie nd this happen in my town!
2009-09-14 - This happen in my town. I was only 12 when it happen but I remember this like it was yesterday. I did not know Robin but she did attend my school and a couple of my cousins and friends had class with her and knew her very well.I did attend school with a many of the Johnston kin after the murders.I remember the morning our town heard the news about the murders (and i will never forget the picture on the the front page of the news)Oxford always had a annual carnival in August and that was the BIG thing where everyone enjoyed the fries and vinger.The worst part is I remember that night my parents took me to that very same carnival the same night the teens were lored off the grounds only to meet their death.When I first watched the movie it grave me a kinda eerie feeling.I understand they did not film this in Oxford or Nottingham or Chester County but they did a great job portraying the area. Watch this you will like it.Great Movie

Very good movie
2009-06-15 - A good but sad movie of a true story most people don't know about. Vintage Sean Penn and Christoper Walken.

Really good
2009-04-26 - I had never seen this movie before Jay Mohr talked of a scene on the Opie and Anthony Show. I love "based on a true story" crime movies. This family was messed up! Oh yeah, a lot of big names in this.
