Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

FlashCallahan Returning to the small Florida town where he grew up, Billy Turner learns that his father has been killed.With no help from the police, Billy takes matters into his own hands.He goes up against a ruthless local mob boss in a desperate search to find the killer...Its a semi brat pack movie, featuring the two least successful of the said pack, but strangely, the two most talented.It's as if Nelson decided to make an eighties version of Walking Tall, with the added touch of Walter Hill, which is so apparent in this, he may as well directed it.But as revenge thrillers go, it's highly predictable, but so silly, its very entertaining. It's obvious Winfield is the real mastermind, because he eats breakfast outside and laughs at every scenario, and turns up to help during the final battle.Sheedy is basically here just to be the love interest and to show Nelson the error of his ways, but she does get him information, so she is quite important in the narrative.But what ruins the film a little, and ironically makes it all the more watchable, is Nelsons performance. Here is a character who has just found out that his father is dead, and is left with nothing, but he just seems to shrug it off and carry on with a swagger, and his blasé revenge.But, it's short, and it's fast paced enough to go through the motions to prevent you from seeing the plot holes until long after the film has finished.pointless fun, but pointless nevertheless...

Lokisgodhi Judd Nelson playing the part of Burt Reynolds. I always thought that was the best way to describe this film. That description is not meant to take anything away from it. Just a description of it.Like in many of Reynolds' roles, Nelson plays a smart mouthed wisecracking anti-hero. He's not nearly as sure of himself as his pretends to be. Like many of Reynolds' characters, Nelson's Billy Turner is making it up as he goes along as he seeks rough justice. Unlike many action adventure films, the outcome is in doubt. Turner is not an invincible killing machine.I remember seeing it when it came out. I thought it was a fun film worth watching. The theme is appealing. I think it's an underrated film and the proof the critics' opinions are just that: opinions and therefore subjective. You have to see it for yourself.

Mahatma I saw this movie in the theaters in 1986 as a freshman in college when I was really in to bad movies. "Good movies are a dime a dozen, but bad movies are forever" I used to say. This film changed my mind. It's poorly acted, and directed, and written, and utterly unlikable. It is not, however, bad enough to be truly remarkable (like, say, "Crush Groove"), nor bad enough to serve as a cautionary example (Like, say, "Psycho Girls") it's simply a vanity piece with two over-paid, under-talented stars phoning in a "Performance" to get money to spend on coke. Judd and Ally were a couple during the filming of this movie, and yet have less onscreen chemistry than Adam West and Max Gail pretending to be gay in a recent episode of Drew Carey. In the end, this movie set out to leave a dead 90 minutes in my memory, and it succeded. This is not a movie for watching, it is a movie for lying down and avoiding.

pdk I knew nothing beforehand about this film. I only watched it because Ally Sheedy was in the cast. This was one of the poorest films I have seen in a long time. In my opinion, the only actor who really put anything into his part was Paul Winfield. I like Ms. Sheedy no matter what film she's in, ever since I first saw her in War Games. Judd Nelson was inappropriate as the hero. The plot became more preposterous as the film went on, so that by the end nothing that happens surprises the viewer. The actions which the hero did were totally over the top, and he got away with all of them!! All in all, a film to avoid.
