Kelly E @RT38405502 Sep 7, 2026 This movie is classic 80s. I miss just simple movies like this where it’s just a movie not someone trying to push an agenda. Loved it as a teen love it now See more Trinidad E @charleysREELreview May 25, 2026 Fun movie with a lot of heart. Christian Slater is amazing and the actions scenes are entertaining as heck. The brotherhood of skating culture is done well here too. Great movie. The Vietnamese history and culture part of the story is foundational rather than an afterthought which I would say was rare for that period. Great Asian actors and near-realistic depictions of complex relationships for immigrants in the USA. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Jan 11, 2026 Some people just don't understand 1980s movies. This is one of the greats of 1980s. The skateboarding, the extensive footage of Orange County, the rebellious nature of the film, perfection. Not to mention all of the skating legends that had extra roles or stunt roles in the film. Suspension of disbelief, like 90% of 80s films, please.

Was good then and is still good See more Maia C @RT34738870 Jan 3, 2025 This movie was really good I don't understand how it only got 29% it's an amazing movie I absolutely loved it I I literally don't even know what to say but I absolutely loved it you should definitely watch it See more Torin F @nonlinearize Dec 27, 2023 More plotted than you might expect, GLEAMING THE CUBE combines solid skateboarding action with a sort of David and Goliath story. The thriller takes a few strange turns, but also tries for some California cultural complexity along the way, and is bolstered by the many things that make 80's movies so memorable, even if this one isn't exactly a "classic." Plus Christian Slater really is pretty cool. See more Read all reviews
