Black Moon Rising (1986)

For the John Carpenter completist, BMR is another of the lesser known films that he wrote but didn't direct.
Tommy Lee Jones plays a resourceful thief who gets embroiled in a large-scale criminal operation. There’s 80s hair, a prototype car and a heist that requires crucial timing and possibly half a dozen beers to enjoy.
It won’t stay in the memory long after viewing, but nor does it bore at any stage. It’s just average and there’s no shame in being average.
