Review of Traxx

Traxx (1988)
6/10
The perfect middlebrow day off movie
25 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
It has moments of supreme absurdity, like the Working Mother's Daycare in the brothel, and moments of just plain sophomoric grossness, like the way Robert Davi's character dies.

Mindless in result, thoughtful in preparation, this is a Zen movie.

I discovered it on cable soon after it came out and have owned a copy of it on VHS for years.

A movie to be watched with your older teens without embarrassment, and your peers without explanation.

Shadoe proves himself to be a master at his character and seems to have had enough sense to realize that he did his best just this once and to leave it at that.

The bit players and supporting cast all seem to be having fun and the production values are way above par for such an effort.

All in all, a movie that does what it is supposed to and then stops.
