Audience Reviews for Gleaming the Cube (A Brother's Justice)

Apr 02, 2011

This was an instant cult classic due to the cameo appearances of the most famous skaters in the world. As a film, it really doesn't stand on it's own. It's a great 80's nostalgia flick though.

A very exciting thriller with the best skateboarding chase scenes I've ever seen. Slater is fantastic in this movie, and so cute. I loved it.

1989 was a hectic year for Christian Slater, with 6 titles in all. He should have skiped a few. This being one.

I just love this movie, since I was a kid and had a huge crush on Christian Slater. I still have alot of fun watching it.
