Yeah, easily one of the contenders for best conspiracy film from the '70s, and that's some competition!

Is this the one with OJ and that bloke from Law and Order about a faked mission to Mars? Good conspiracy flick.

The only thing that lets it down is the ending, the slow motion run, very 70s. Seemed rushed and not much thought put into it except using "that new fangled slo-mo effect". Where was security?

I like the slo-mo, the anticipation is better than the event.

I was going to say Robocop, one of the best films of the 80s...and then I saw the Dark Justice subtitle.biggrin
Donnie Darko is good, and the Lawnmower man is OK.
