Different strokes, I guess. But I really love Hill's "Extreme Prejudice". That cast, the build up and Hill channelling Peckinpah. Everything about it just clicks for me.  I think it was a better film than Streets of Fire (1984) and Read Heat (1988) but it kind of ends up like Southern Comfort (1981) (not a bad that one either but I just went in with to big of a expections) and maybe I might watch them again later on and it all falls into place, but as of now they just did not have that certain "re-watchability" such as Streets of Fire and Red Heat have, well, for me that is. But again they are far more cheesy and fastpaced than Southern and Extreme which are more gritty and raw. Taking a a quick look upon the work Hill did during the 70s and 80s, he has to be one of the manliest guys in the movie business, and while I really enjoyed Trespass (1992) films such as Another 48 Hours (1990) and Last Man Standing (1996) never did it for me, they somehow felt not up there with the old classic Walter Hill stuff, which is a shame because there is a lot talent involved with those two. Another 48 Hours was a big letdown for me, I love the first one while the second one was quite the mess, but later on I have read several times over that it was cut to pieces and that one important scene after another was taken out, which might have something to do with how poorly it was compared to 48 Hours.
