Movie Review: Renegades
Summary: 5 Stars
Kiefer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips are great actors. They played their roles excellent and the two actors together bring a excellent action movie.Movie Review: Formula revenge, a little mystic and a lot of fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
This has all the basic revenge elements and formula. And who better than Kiefer Sutherland as the "Dirty Harry" type out to make amends for his dirty cop father and find other dirty cops. He teems up with "Chief" Lou Diamond Phillips of "Bats" (1999) fame. The bad guy takes diamonds, and knows who the dirty cops are. So naturally Kiefer has to get him. This same bad guy gets an Indian sacred relic and bumps of an Indian in the process. So naturally Lou Diamond Phillips also has to seek revenge and retrieve the item. Together with the reluctant assistance of Jami Gertz the bad guy's quasi girl, this odd couple does tracking, and hitting, and jumping, and shooting, and horsing around, and and and.
If you can't remember where you saw Jami Gertz before then you might have missed "Sibling Rivalry" (1990) see my review.
This movie has lots of action and standard dialog some Indian mystery and you will never guess who the real bad guys are 20 minutes before the end of the movie, when they practically rub your nose in it.

Sibling Rivalry
Movie Review: One film where the Indian and the Cowboy (cop) got to team up
Summary: 4 Stars
Buster McHenry's (Kiefer Sutherland) gone undercover looking for a bad cop in the Marino gang. The jewelry store heist he's taken part in goes bad and he's running with the bad guys when their mad rush takes them through an art gallery where a Lakota spear's on exhibit. Marino (Robert Knepper) grabs the spear and shoots one of the Indian men as he's leaving.
Hank Storm (Lou Diamond Phillips) is the brother of the man killed. His father, the Lakota medicine man, charges him to get the spear back. Hank steals a Corvette and takes off in pursuit. He arrives just in time to save the life of McHenry, who was left for dead shot in the back by his Marino.
Thus, a very unlikely partnership is born. McHenry wants to bring in the bad guys and Hank's sworn to kill the man who stole his tribe's spear. Sutherland and Phillips are a great pairing, they're great for drama and the occasional bits of humor to relieve the tension. There's a little odd-couple tension, some Native folklore, a solid chase scene or two, and enough twists to keep you watching. Despite being nearly 20 years old, this film still holds up pretty well.

Movie Review: Action
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this movie for the action and comedy as well. It's down to earth when someone is trying to get rid of you. and what length they go to. I like the main actors and worth watching.Movie Review: Outlaws
Summary: 3 Stars
Although both Keifer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Phillips turn in fine preformances, their characters are just a bit over the top. Both would have been put in prison along with any surviving criminals for a long time. That said this is mindless entertainment and most people will enjoy it. Fans of the "Lethal Weapon" or "Die Hard" series will like it for certain. Sutherland plays a cop after a gang that stole some diamonds and left dead bodies in their wake. The real problem is he helped them while he was undercover. Phillips plays a Native American with a group loaning a Lakota lance to a museum. The diamond thieves murder Phillips brother and steal the lance so he goes on the warpath. This movie goes to extremes for these two to catch the thieves/killers with little regard to innocent bystanders. This is one for that big bowl of popcorn, and no thinking action.
