At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's really sad, that there still is no DVD release of this great series. I never missed an episode. Please, SONY PHE, release this TV-show!!! I guaran-damn-tee you, it will be a BESTSELLER!It's a shame, that there's only one season. Maybe HARDBALL didn't start at the right time... And when i look at todays shows, i really miss the old days with Charlie & Kaz. So many epic moments, so many LOLs... And the theme song from Sylvester Levay & Eddie Money: GREAT...and also never released. If SONY would start e petition, i'd be one of the first to sign it!If you have the chance to watch this show, don't hesitate. It's worth watching more than once...

Ileana, nice to hear there's another person who liked the show. In Finland we had 15 or 16 episodes I think, and I recorded all of those. I still do have them on VHS.Since Hardball's not on DVD, or even original VHS, I've been thinking of getting my recorded episodes to digital format at some point. I do have the pilot also, but due to some sad coincidences, it has a bit worse quality than the other episodes.Great series, John Ashton and Richard Tyson had a nice chemistry and fitted their roles perfectly. The best thing in the series was the humour, which often came from these two guys competing each other. That lead to a lot of juicy loud-mouthing and amusing happenings.Why it was canceled after one season, is a mystery to me, but I definitely miss the characters. It's not realistic to wait for it's second airing I guess. :(

I was very sorry when the series ended. I enjoyed enormously, all the episodes, the stories, the actors, everything about it. The thread has been taken from "Beverly Hills cop" - I believe- from the scene where Billy ( who was reloading his gun), hidden together with Taggart (John Ashton) behind a wall, on their bellies, to avoid the bullets of Victor Maitland's goons, said to Taggart that the scene reminds him of Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid, when they were surrounded by the Bolivian Army and run out of bullets;to which Taggart(John Ashton) answered that if they will get out alive from that jam, he will make Billy(character played by Judge Reinhold)pay!! The scene was extremely funny and somebody had the idea to take these two characters out of this movie and make a series. They created Kaz and Battles from Billy and Taggart, from "Beverly Hills cop". I did not manage to tape the pilot. Could anybody help me with information where could I get a copy of the pilot? The entire series has not been released on DVD or on VHS, here in England; it only has been televised once.

Okay, this was a short-lived series that should have continued.
I especially got a kick out of the suspenseful, action-packed pilot (first episode), and loved the relationships that developed, especially between "Kaz" (Richard Tyson) and "Billy" (Jarrett Lennon), who was kidnapped, and ended up in huge and exciting (and VERY FUNNY!) adventures. I liked the icehouse scenes the best, and that car scene (into the bay) was HOT!Whatever HAPPENED to Richard Tyson?! He was funny-cool!
