Leave your thoughts about The Principal.
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzDespite the Sybil-like plot (and questionable Rambo mentality), there's something watchable about it all. Weird it is, flop it ain't. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonPlain and simple -- this is a racist movie. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumAll in all, an entertaining (if ideologically incoherent) response to the valorization of greed in our midst, with lots of Rambo-esque violence thrown in, as well as an unusually protracted slugfest between ex-wrestler Roddy Piper and costar Keith David. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe plot for They Live is full of black holes, the acting is wretched, the effects are second-rate. In fact, the whole thing is so preposterous it makes "V" look like "Masterpiece Theatre." [5 Nov 1988] |
| The New York TimesWalter GoodmanFrank Deese's script is as rudimentary as the lyrics that pound through the hallways, and Christopher Cain's direction provides no surprises. |
| User ReviewRobin HThis movie was verhy good. Alot of excitment and drama. |
| User ReviewCassandra RGreat Movie about how one man CAN make a differance in a world gone bad. |
| User ReviewCharmed PI loved this movie alot Jim Belushi is awesome. |
| User ReviewAnthony CBelushi is really good in this role that inspired alot of later movies like Dangerous Minds and the awful 187 which this is wayy better even though people give it shit about being an 80s movie. |
| User ReviewAthanasiosT1984 for movies. That's how I interpret this film. The plot and images it shows are out of our present and future. Last but not least, the music, which is imprinted in your mind. A perfect 10 for years to come. |
