Movie Reviews of Wanted Dead or Alive
Movie Review: A great " rainy day" movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay...so its no "On Golden Pond"...BUT, this movie has all the requirements for alternative viewing. Nothing on the movie channels ? Is it 2:35 a.m. and the info-mercials are killing you? Need someting in the background while doing your needlepoint or cleaning your firearms? Then this is the movie for you ! The same kind of...charm...that makes "Jake Speed" work ,is in abundance in "Wanted".Its pace is quick,No Pulp Fiction,but still it works.Of course the action is way over the top.But its always fun to watch your hero doing things that would have him arrested.whether it's firing off warning shots in a convenience store with a shotgun,or decapitating a handcuffed terrorist with expolsives, Hauers character,Nick Randall,is immune from the repercussions of his actions.Hauer even manages to evade being partially responsible for getting a dectective killed.Yep, as far as your basic "leather-clad-teflon-coated-hero" goes,Hauer does all those things we wish the good guys could get away with,but of course dont... due to severe crimminal charges(Watch the news,even Marines under fire are expected to obey certain rules of war.)
Nonetheless, Hauer does a great job and Simmons is, (to say the least) surprisingly good at his role.In fact this movie is packed with great actors doing a super job.
Good action,Strong performances, mixed with the 80's era Rambo
mentality towards justice and internatonal relations, combine to make this an excellent choice for those times when looking for a "different" cinematic experience.
