Yeah, Yeah, It's Not Shakespeare...
...but it was the beginning of a nice career of playing really evil bad guys for Kevin Bacon. I would say he's in the top 10 "bad guy" actors of all time, mainly because you really, really, really want to kick his ass when he's bad, but he can switch it up and play a guy you root for in the next film. He's one of the better actors of our generation, in my opinion, and I don't mean in acting chops. He's just good at what he does, and this film is no exception. Definitely worth a watch.
