Safety Last! - Review

Although i consider myself more of a Keaton dude, i found Harold Lloyd’s most iconic flick quite impressive, both in terms of smart in-camera special effects trickery as well as smart visual storytelling. The film keeps a brisk pace in the leadup to the famous, extensive warehouse climbing sequence, yet keeps us wholly unprepared for what is probably one of the most sadistic (towards its audience) pieces of pure thrill-cinema ever captured on film.
