Think John McClane of "Die Hard"which was reviewed on this blog,as a sergeant in the US army.Thats who Johnny Gallagher might as well be.Stranger still both films were release the same year,1989 and perhaps this film suffered from the computation,much the same as "Logan's Run"suffered from the same release year as "Star War"both of which are also reviewed on this blog.What ever the reason,this is a fine film for those who loved cold war conspiracies.The casting is also fine starring Gene Hackman as Sgt.Gallagher and the lesser know but he steals every scene he's in, Dennis Franz as Lt. Milan Delich.
Tommy Lee Jones as the mysterious Thomas Boyette,also always punk like John Heard as Col. Glen Whitacre and even Joanna Cassidy as Eileen Gallagher shine.Interesting enough a very small role totally out of character YET showing she is more than a "wet dream"tough girl Pam Grier as Ruth Butler.
The story is sort of well,lame,in that its a plot to kill someone big by a shadow group with types from both sides in the"cold war"thats the reason I took 1 star off.However for 108 minutes film with such a good cast and those old day feelings of you knew who the enemy was,its a small price to play.So check out the trailer URL after the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
Experienced Green Beret sergeant Johnny Gallagher is escorting a prisoner, Airborne Ranger Thomas Boyette, back to the US, but Boyette escapes and Gallagher must risk life and limb to catch him.
