🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Strawman is a solid entry rated 7.1/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A classic from 1987. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
