Featured review
Great and enjoyable action movie that is criminally underrated
I came by casually with this movie when I decided to watch various movies with Keith David (who has one of the best voices ever heard on film) and when I arrived to this one I thought I would have hated since it has a pathetic score of 5,1 but instead, I ended up loving it very much. And I think it's criminally underrated especially here!
Harry Nails (Dennis Hopper) is a though Los Angeles cop that when he goes investigating one night with his partner has his partner killed. Furious about what happened, he is recommended by his superiors to take a little vacation as they think that he might be stressed, but he refuses. Nails instead goes on a rampage towards all the criminals and their co-horts and he won't stop at nothing for having justice served (and he won't take a NO for an answer). He would also manage to expose the corrupted nature of his former colleague.
This is a great action movie despite it's a made for TV one. It has lots of chase scenes (including with cars), shootouts, fistfights, places trashed around... you can't get better than this one! I was surprised at how many twists and turns were as the bad guys were real jerks.
Dennis Hopper steals the show in every scene he's in as the tough cop Harry Nails, who has a ruggedness a bit reminiscent of Clint Eastwood in his prime and I really loved his performance. I thought that his treatment towards those scumbags was necessary. The supporting cast is full of then unknwon faces that soon become famous as they were more active in movies: John Hawkes, Keith David, Jay Acovone and even Danny Trejo as a barman were quite a surprise to watch. And the soundtrack was very funky in some points.
If you ever have a chance to watch this movie... watch it at all costs! It's a great action movie that fans of the genre will enjoy and it's not like your typical made for TV movie. When it was over I thought ''why they didn't released it in theaters?'' because I think that if it was released in theaters it could have today a much higher score and more reviews.
