8. Making this story work as this kind of movie shouldn't work, especially at this point in history when this kind of movie was very much on the fast track out the fucking door, but it totally does. Best of all is when it gets nasty at the end this old geezer flips that switch effortlessly. One Reed makes an absolute god out of the other Reed in this movie. Terrifying stuff.
