It has been some time since I watched this excellent thriller.
Loved it.
I do remember going to see it in the cinema, but alas, it obviously didn't make an impression on me, as I don't remember a single thing about it! Wasn't Clancy Brown the villain? Its original title was 'Shoot to Kill', better than 'Deadly Pursuit', which is a rather lazy catchpenny title!
Thats right Clancy was the villain, Roger Spotiiwoode directed. It has been some time since I watched it, I liked it on release.
Ah, I forgot Spottiswoode directed. One of his earlier movies was called 'The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper' Maybe that's why they changed titles? 'Cooper' is actually a very entertaining thriller with Treat Williams, true story if I recall?
I am a fan of Treat Williams, he is great in The Phantom and Deep Rising, not sure if i have seen the film you mentioned though.
It's rarely seen! I only caught it once on television, and am not sure it's easy to get on dvd/streaming!
Treat Williams is always good! There's a quirky thriller called 'Things to do in Denver when you're dead' with Andy Garcia, Williams is really good in it as a very unhinged character!!
I think I saw that if Terri Hatcher is also in Things to do in Denver when you're dead though it was a long time ago,it may have been before TND or around that time.
No, the female lead is the gorgeous Gabrielle Anwar! It has actually a terrific cast, as well as Garcia and Williams, it has Christopher Walken, Jack Warden, Steve Buscemi and Christopher Lloyd! It's an unusual thriller with a bizarre plot, but it is clever and has some standout scenes. Well worth seeking out!
Sounds good I will look out for it, I like thrillers especially if neo noir, Walken is also always good value.
I love this film.
Directed by the great man himself, Burt was one of the original stuntman actors.
Many of my friends would call me Burt in my youth as I looked like him, Burt Reynolds films should be celebrated more, and his life story is really tough.
Definitely not one of Burts best! I have been mulling over getting his double bill of 'White Lightning ' and 'Gator', andI still haven't purchased 'Sharkeys Machine' which I really must do!
Stick is not his best but I do like the story, Burt in a few scenes slips into his Burt persona which undermines what is happening., the film reminds me of a different era which I am happy to spend time in.
Burt's Gator films are great he was at the peak of his powers then, I highly recommend a YouTube channel called GATOR McKLUSKY there is some great Burt Reynolds retrospectives on there.
