A science-fiction film, a buddy-cop film, an action film, even a dash of horror film -- The Hidden has a lot going on but strikes the balance.
Remembered well by those that saw it, it pops up in "underrated" movie lists from time to time yet never seems to catch fire.
The movie stars Michael Nouri (Flashdance) and Kyle MacLachlan (Blue Velvet) and was directed by Jack Sholder (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge).
Join me for this episode as I break down what makes The Hidden a well-remembered but seemingly overlooked piece of 1980s action cinema.
