VHS Movie Reviews of Extreme Prejudice [VHS]Movie Review: Good Movie / Lousy Tape Summary: 1 StarsThe movie's fine. Good acting. Good story. Too bad, then, the tape itself [stinks], and that's simply because it was recorded at "Agonizingly Excrutiatingly Super Slow Save Money on Tape" speed. I have many other low-priced tapes that are clear and sharp because the outfit producing them recorded them at SP. This particular tape was produced by "AVID Home Entertainment." I lasted about 45 minutes before saying to hell with it. During that 45 minutes I was constantly adjusting tracking. Go DVD unless you can find the film on VHS by someone other than this "AVID Home Entertainment" bunch.
Movie Review: Extreme Prejudice-DVD Edition Summary: 2 StarsOne of my all time favorite Walter Hill movies gets botched on DVD. If ever a movie deserved to be in the widescreen format, this is it! The movie is cropped horribly! Also no 5.1 sound, only mediocre stereo. Artisan should do Hill fans a favor and re-release it in widescreen. Buyer beware!
Movie Review: Just In Case You Thought Walker Was The Only Bad A** Ranger Summary: 4 StarsNick Nolte plays a Texas Ranger the way Chuck Norris plays Walker, only without all the kicking. This movie is violent, there is some nudity, and there is quite a lot of profanity. If that offends you, be forewarned. It also has one of the best character actors in the business in it, mr Rip Torn as the crusty old Texas sherrif. His performance alone is worth seeing the movie.
Movie Review: I Know, Let's Try Peckinpah ! Summary: 2 StarsWhen it comes to steely eyed stares, Clint Eastwood has nothing on Nick Nolte. Except Nolte is a fine actor whose talents are largely wasted in this tiresomely Johnny-one-note performance. Powers Boothe whose on-screen charisma is a match for Nolte's, expresses a broader range as the villian, but apparently never got the big break his talent deserves. Too bad. The movie itself goes downhill after a promising beginning. Director Walter Hill is simply unable to weave the subplots of a murky script by that avatar of violence for its own sake - John Milius - into anything like an engaging whole. The result is a fatal crash dive into gruesomely nonsensical parody of The Wild Bunch. The upshot provides a lesson for those who have the blood lust of a Peckinpah, without his cinematic stylishness or moral sensibility. In fact, the film probably works better as parody, particularly Nolte's cartoonish Texas Ranger. A waste of fine talent on third-rate bravado. Save your money.
Movie Review: Don't you people get it.? Summary: 2 StarsThis is a good movie, no doubt about it, is not a great movie but you can seat back, relax and enjoy walter hill's ( not at his best...i rather go with Southern Confort) great action secuences. Nick Nolte character is real wick and Maria conchita Alonso it's horrible and the "no storyline" about some double crossed ex -friends is really dumb!. The dvd its a dissapointment ...pure full screen trash, the tranfer is bad and it doesn't have any extras.....my greatest complain about this movie is that it is a really bad imitation of a great western classic.....THE WILD BUNCH. it just to get near it. the plot is very likely but does not get there...good gunfights but not as incredible as SAM PEKINPAH'S MASTERPIECE. The shootout at the final moments of the film save the day but never matches the autenticity, greatness and cinematografic beauty of the WILD BUNCH'S cold blooded 6 minutes long violent mayhem. IF you really like this film, i recomend you take a look at THE WILD BUNCH and you will start havind second opinions about EXTREME PREJUDICE. two stars for the film none for the dvd.
