Summary

Buster is a 1988 comedy, crime and drama film.

Only 31 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 33 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus.
