- cook9122 février 2025Hardly any dialog. Good movie to watch.
- Ron Klose19 mars 2026It an old style action movie classic.
- Prokhor28 février 2026No dicks at all. A single instance of naked female presenting breasts.
- jaymz44227 juillet 2025Good movie
- thekingnoot15 avril 2025Sci-fi classic!
- mellisf3 juillet 2025worth every minute.
- ርልዪረ4 juin 2025Kurt Russell is simply the King of cool as "Snake Plissken" in Legendary Director John "Halloween" Carpenter's classic Sci-Fi "Escape From New York". In the movie ex Special Forces Operative, now turned Convict and Prisoner "Snake Plissken" is forced to head into New York City (now a walled escape proof Prison), find and retrieve the President of the United States (After Airforce one has crash landed in New York), and get out alive. Kurt Russel is brilliant as the wise cracking "Plissken . . Call him Snake", definitely one of/if not the coolest Cinematic Character creation ever. The action is violent, brutal and crisp, and there is an energy that runs completely through the film. As always Legendary Director John Carpenter conjures up plenty of atmosphere in this taut, tense, action cracker. Simply brilliant.
- Risk The Bard22 avril 2025This was just really campy and I enjoyed it, alright.
- markeh419 février 2026Old but goody
- Richard Scott Long13 février 2026Not a bad movie... edge of your seat entertainment. 😄
- Aaron Slade20 avril 2025Hell Yes - What a film! Kurt in his prime, John about to hit his prime next (The Thing). Its a fun ride start to finish
- Zokkiie29 décembre 2025Kurt Russell is pure cool as Snake, trying to survive a totally messed-up Manhattan turned prison. The action’s tense, the vibe is gritty and fun, and yeah, some of the effects are a bit old-school—but that just adds to the charm. Totally worth a watch.
- Jakeys28 décembre 2025Often considered one of Carpenter's best, but as much as I love him and Kurt Russell, it somehow manages to be boring? I really wanted to like it more, Snake Plissken is such a cool character, the concept and the world are also promising, but it just doesn't deliver on it enough.
- flavo4310 décembre 2025Escape from New York (1981) is a gritty, inventive sci-fi action film that transcends its B-movie roots to become a genre classic. Directed by John Carpenter, it presents a dystopian vision of Manhattan transformed into a maximum-security prison, with Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken sent in to rescue the President. The plot is tight, the pacing relentless, and the atmosphere dripping with tension and style. Carpenter’s use of practical effects and moody synth score creates a world that feels both grim and believable, despite budget limitations. The characters are memorable, from Plissken’s anti-hero charisma to the eccentric figures inhabiting the ruined city. Russell’s performance cemented Snake as one of the most iconic sci-fi action stars, his mythos enduring long after the film’s release. Escape from New York is proof that creativity and attitude can elevate a modest production into a timeless cult masterpiece.
- myk3410 septembre 2025Whilst a little dated, it's a classic nonetheless
