Shoot first, ask questions ‘Slater.
After three movies spent deep in the trenches of teenage existentialism, it was finally time for Slater to wax slack about being in your twenties in the ‘90s. And you know you’re in for a good time the moment he cocks an eyebrow and breaks the fourth wall in full raspy voice-of-a-generation mode.
It’s one of those buddy-cop-adjacent outings, like Downtown or Running Scared, that gets buried down the ol’ acting résumé, but I like digging it up. Sure, it leans tropy, but it gets extra cred for dutifully blending drama, comedy, action, and a surprisingly touching coming-of-age arc.
And there’s enough charisma on screen to make you want to sing along to The Future’s So Bright.
You gotta wear shades.
