Steineded How sad is this?
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
garyldibert TITLE: High Risk opened in theaters in the United States on May 1 1981 and the time on this movie is 94 minutes. Starring in this movie was Lindsay Wagner, James Brolin, and Anthony Quinn SUMMARY: This picture opened in theaters around the country in May of 1981 starring James Brolin as Steve, Anthony Quinn as Marino, The Beautiful Lindsay Wagner as Olivia, James Coburn as Serrano and Ernest Borgine as Clint. This movie is about four Americans that are broke and tired of being poor Steve is the ringleader and gets the other three guys to tell their wives and girlfriends that there going on a fishing trip. So they put the usually things in Steve's truck like sleep bags, fishing poles, nets, and tackle boxes. So Steve and his three friends head down the road until they come to an open field and stops. Along comes Clint who's a side winder who deals in anything from rifles, guns, knives, machine guns and anything else you can use if you're going to drop in on someone. When Steve's three friends find out what kind of firepower there going to need they start to have second thoughts. Steve talks them out of leaving and so they sit and wait until the plane arrives. The plane that there waiting for is going to take them to Mexico where a man named Serrano lives who has millions of dollars in his safe with high walls and guards to watch the place. Therefore, Steve and friends hold up outside of the walls where Serrano hides waiting for the right moment to attack the place. One of Steve's friends has a white female poodle that they lower over the wall to attract the guard dogs in which it does. Therefore, the men go over the walls, sneak in the building, downstairs to where the safe is only to found out that the combination was changed. Therefore, Steve and another man go upstairs to get Serrano to bring him down to open the safe. Steve and his men get the money but while on their way out, they get into s shootout with not only Serrano army but the Mexican Army also and end up in a Mexican Bull Ring with a real live bull. As the men are on the run two of them get caught while Steve and another get away. The two that where caught ended up in one of Serrano cells. Along comes Olivia who has been in one of Serrano cells for a long time. Meanwhile Steve and the man that's with him get caught up by a bunch of bandits. Along comes Marino who's a poor Mexican along with their people who track Steve down and take their money.QUESTIONS: Will Steve and the man survive these Bandits? What about the two men that is in Serrano custody? What happens to Olivia and does she ever get out of Serrano cuffs? MY THOUGHTS: I thoughts this was a good movie because it did have adventure, action and drama. I bought this movie because Lindsay Wagner was in it. I wasn't disappointed with her acting or how beautiful she is, I was disappointed that it took almost 30 minutes before we saw her. Her talents were wasted in this movie and someone that looks like she does she be the leading actress. On Lindsay Wagner, I give her 10 weasel stars because I could watch her all day. The movie itself I give 7 weasel stars
amint This movie pulled me right in. A bunch of guys are bored with their lifestyle, and they decide to go rip off some money from a drug lord in Mexico. Now this is not your lame corny movie. The music is captivating, the choice of actors is A 1, and it shows. Check out the casting - Anthony Quinn, bionic woman, and a pile of other amazing actors. Outstanding performance from everyone on the set - they're all very convincing, and nothing seems out of place. It's got music from the Rolling Stones, but throughout the movie it has a 70's, but not disco uncool, tune that'll keep you focused. I really think this movie should have been recognized a lot more, and I disagree with the low ratings. Give this movie a go, if you can find it. I found it on DVD at a grocery store for $5 in Canada. Sit down with some popcorn or other snack, and savor the moment...
david_kiklis All you gotta know is that the DC-3 in the film is flown by "Addios Airline" and has a big marijuana leaf painted on the tail. What a cool filmBorgnine's best line "It's not how many bullets you fire - It's what you hit with them that counts"
