To me, this movie is perfection.

Sick Product of a Sick System

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Hello, most people don't like this movie because it was thin in certain areas of the film, listen it's a pure guy movie with tons of action, comedy, and a good acting,not many 80's movies that were action had much story lines to them anyway, it's a feel good story about a group of midwestern men who find out the towns hero in many ways, has been kidnapped and the government wont lift a finger to help since Harry and the other captive aren't worth a rescue, but 5 guys decide they are gonna to go and rescue harry, this movie is a must see for any fan of action, good story, and lot of named actors, don't pay attention to the morons on here who wrote a bad review, what do they expect an Oscar award for this type of movie, it's a buddy, guy movie it's about not sitting by and letting your good friend be killed.while the government seems to not give a s***, if you enjoy a good action movie, with just a feel good story and plenty of action don't pass up this rare gem.

A plot similar to this film was hatched by H. Ross Perot, as written in the book "On the Wings of Eagles," by Ken Follett about a situation in Iran which was very similar to this movie. To me this film really didn't have hardly anything to do with race, I think the reviewer may be reading a little too much into the plot. For a small action movie, this film was interesting and entertaining. The performance of Robert Duvall is understated and sublime, offset by the tailor-made role of the used car salesman, played by Gary Busey. It seems that Busey really didn't have to stretch his acting skills too much for this role, but it was fun to watch.

Yes, it's a real Alan Smithee film, and it's pretty obvious why Stuart Rosenberg did not want to be associated with this dud. Basically an opportunity for pure hearted Young White Americans to pound the bejesus out of filthy Brown Skinned Drug Dealers, this Reaganesque paean to Manifest Destiny is boring and offensive. Avoid at all costs, unless you're a member of Aryan Nation.

This is a bad movie cause it doesn't use the story perfectly, this has to be a drama movie more than an action movie, I think that they should have concentrated on the relation brother-to-brother side in this story :this movie shouldn't be a hero story , it should be a family's story ... That's why I think that it's too week ... Don't waste your time with movies like that.
