The energy here is off the charts.
In less than 5 minutes, director Herbert Ross and editor Paul Hirsch use the opening title sequence to fully set the stage for their film’s protagonist. Through intercutting flashbacks from his farm life in Kansas and his arrival in 1987 New York City, we learn everything we need to know about Brantley Foster’s motivations, personality, sense of humor, and his hopes and dreams — all to a rock anthem by Night Ranger. This is how you start a movie!
