They Said…
Rachel Sarah Murphy: Excellent
Daniel Wymbs: Most are excellent.
Ferdia McAnna (writer): Harrison Ford is a grumpy bollix but he’s the best action hero ever.
Michael Doherty (RTE Guide): A solid action lead in his day, but never a dramatic force.
Dominic Mafham (actor): Dry, laconic,
Elfrieda Carroll: Wooden acting but love him.
Alvean Jones (tv presenter): Cheesy at times, but understated in other roles. Liked him in Indiana Jones.
