Movie review - "The Stuntman" (1980) *** (warning: spoilers)

Cult favourite which I might have liked more had I discovered it instead of having it hyped for me. Steve Railsback is the man on the run who winds up working as a stuntman for Peter O'Toole, a film director, who seems to be nuts... but we find out Railsback the ex Vietnam vet is also nuts. Barbara Hershey is, yet again for her career, The Girl, but she is very good - actually the whole cast is.

Decent handling. I think I would have liked it more had O'Toole killed Railsback.   O'Toole is great fun but he's matched by nutty Railsback. Maybe I'll have to watch this again.
