The Park Is Mine Audience Reviews

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
WilliamFAlexander I found this movie extremely hard to watch since it lacked any semblance of a plot and it focused on the action. The music by Tangerine Dream is just over the top and further detracts from the movie experience. After 30 minutes, I fast forwarded to parts that looked promising, but was just disappointed by the continuation of the sad, sad, sad film making attempt. I finally fast forwarded to the end only to confirm that the film made absolutely no sense and is an example of movies that should never have been made in the first place.
AirborneRanger Tommy Lee Jones, in an updated version of Taxi Driver, plays a disillusioned, disenchanted Vietnam Vet who only truly feels at home while on patrol. He takes over Central Park in downtown New York City in a believable scenario; seeking control, and seeking recognition, he dominates the city by shutting down the Park.Jones becomes the indigenous guerrilla, the one who controls the fight by setting the scene and drawing the inept Police into his traps. An excellent movie, ahead of its time, imagine a very human Rambo in downtown New York. The movie does not have a neat ending, like Taxi Driver or even Dog Day afternoon. Instead, it ends as you might like it too.
Geoffrey Maher I saw this on HBO in the mid '80s and I loved it. Tommy Lee Jones was so cool and I had no problem buying the premise. It was kind of like Assault on Precinct 13 or The Warriors in its cartoonish depiction of violence. I remember especially the part where he's in full military garb and grease paint on his face with an arsenal of weapons around his body and he tells a woman to leave the park because its filled with "thugs and perverts and weirdos." Check it out if you can, it won't change your life, but it's good.
Bayjohn Tommy Lee Jones does his part to hold this movie together, and that's about the only thing going for it. The plot about one man taking over Central Park (!) is highly improbable, but makes for a good Saturday afternoon action flick. Don't put a lot of thought into this movie, just enjoy it for what it is!
