Very well executed
... View MoreBest movie of this year hands down!
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreJust saw this after 30 years. And it didn't bother me that back then I wasn't bothered by this movie. The story has potential to be a great one, but so many inexplicable things kept happening. Like how these guys can go from Midwesterners of no apparent fierceness and suddenly become international level guerillas. The acting wasn't really that awful, I particularly liked Duvall's and Busey's performances, and wasn't turned off by Jake Ryan's performance either, lol. (I did do many double/triple takes, when Jake Ryan throughout looks to be wearing the same red flannel shirt he wore in 16 Candles!!) We have Biff from Back to the Future, and the guy from Top Gun who always had his shirt off (in both Top Gun and this movie!!) I mean, it wasn't bad, it just got a little tedious and ludicrous and I took a smoking break a couple of times, so it clearly didn't keep me on the edge of my seat.
... View MoreA plot similar to this film was hatched by H. Ross Perot, as written in the book "On the Wings of Eagles," by Ken Follett about a situation in Iran which was very similar to this movie. To me this film really didn't have hardly anything to do with race, I think the reviewer may be reading a little too much into the plot. For a small action movie, this film was interesting and entertaining. The performance of Robert Duvall is understated and sublime, offset by the tailor-made role of the used car salesman, played by Gary Busey. It seems that Busey really didn't have to stretch his acting skills too much for this role, but it was fun to watch.
... View MoreLet's Get Harry is an excellent action movie, as far as low-budget, throwaway action movies go. Don't expect state-of-the-art special effects, a deep and meaningful plot, or Oscar-winning performances by any of the stars (however, it should be noted that Gary Busey, arguably, gives one of his best performances). What you will find, however, is a movie that will entertain fans of the genre for 102 minutes. Basically, it is a Charles Bronson movie without Charles Bronson. As for racial insensitivity, anyone that finds insensitivity within this movie is not a true fan of the genre and probably ought to stay away from action movies in general, as any movie where white people aren't being slaughtered is offensive to them. The purpose of Let's Get Harry is to entertain, not to provide thought-provoking insight into US/Colombian relations.
... View MoreThis is a bad movie cause it doesn't use the story perfectly, this has to be a drama movie more than an action movie, I think that they should have concentrated on the relation brother-to-brother side in this story :this movie shouldn't be a hero story , it should be a family's story ... That's why I think that it's too week ... Don't waste your time with movies like that.
