Review of VFW

VFW (2019)
10/10
80s Throwback masterpiece
11 April 2020
You can almost tell the ages of the reviewers by the scores they are giving this one. This is an 80s throwback Grindhouse classic. Everything about it feels 80s.

For those around in the 80s this stars every classic character actor all in one movie; Stephen Lang, Martin Kove, William Sadler, David Patrik Kelly, Fred Williamson, George Wendt all as a group of OAP army veterans who get together in a bar one night to celebrate one of their birthdays and reminiss on the old days in Vietnam.

Suddenly a girl runs in with a bag full of stolen drugs and a team of drug fuelled nuts hell bent on killing her, and everyone in the bar just to get it back. And thus, 80mins of nonstop home invasion franticness ensures.

This is right up there with the original Assault on Precinct 13, Straw Dogs and Feast for high intensity craziness.

I really hope another movie gets made with the same set of actors. As it is a masterstroke putting them together and they have such good chemistry together. Try and get Robert Englund in the next movie if you do too. He would fit right in.
