Excellent

Great movie. I want more like this one. Good poem, spot on syllable count and line count. Even as short as it had to be, it still captures the gist of the movie.

I have not seen this film, but your seventeen syllable review makes me want to check it out. I also like the movie poster you selected to accompany your poem. Rod

Hi there,

Well, this is a good succinct round-up of the plot for the movie. Who needs big blurbs when you've got 17 syllables.

Best of luck to you

I don't know the movie but even without knowing it, I feel like this is more a political commentary. I checked the movie plot and it sounds like you covered it well. In today's reality, it sounds like the ex-POTUS will face some prison time.
Best wishes in the contest!

Nope, straight review. In a dystopian future, the President?s plane crashes in NYC, which is a city prison. Snake is sent in to rescue him along with strategic data to begin and win a war with the USSR. The President is held by the chief gangster, The Duke.

Ah. Sounds like a lot of drama!

Yes, Snake saved the day, but that was 1997. Then Snake disappeared, changed his name to R J MacReady, and went to Antarctica as a contract helicopter pilot at an American scientific station where, in 1982, the research team was hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumed the appearance of its victims. They say he died there, but he didn't. He surfaced again in 2013 in Los Angeles. The government needed a "do-over" of what Snake had accomplished in New York, but this time it was in the City of Angels, where all the Angels had left town long ago.

As I recall, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, had Big Trouble in Little China, and was not Death Proof.

I remember the movie well. You've successfully encapsulated the movie in this excellent Haiku. The entire story of the movie is described in the three lines of this poem.

All the best in the contest.

Cheers,

Eugene
