I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Please don't spend money on this.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

There's no safe haven, when Wings Hauser it out for revenge. Which a drug cartel soon finds out. "No Safe Haven" is your typically forgettable 80s action fodder… ridiculously over-the-top in nearly every department from the action set-pieces, clunky dialogues and the villainous bad guys (especially a lip-smacking Branscombe Richmond). Quite reckless, but done with enough panache despite its low-budget frame. It's somewhat slow to begin off, but it does pack a little punch when the frenetic action is transported to an impregnable South American jungle fortress. After the death of his two younger brothers and his mother at the hands of a vicious drug syndicate, Hauser's CIA agent Clete is a man on a mission. He gets by with plenty of charisma, a touch of intensity (mainly those scenes in the first half when one-by-one he playfully begins picking off the henchmen to make a point) and with the aid of a weapons expert amusingly played by Robert Tessier. Gladly the story stays simple, despite the pointless distractions. Hauser goes about his brutal business accompanied by a screeching rock soundtrack. We know what it wants to deliver and for most part it serves up the stereotypical and cheesy action goods.

This was a comeback for Hauser. And I must say, it was one I like. He co wrote it too, and it isn't a badly made film. Revenge has always been sweet but it some cases, it can never be so deadly. Hauser's brother, a grid iron player who a drug habit, who got in with some bad people, one such guy, who you don't cross, Manuel (Branscombe Richmond), who asks him to throw the game, but he doesn't, bringing hell down on him. He and his mother and his younger brother are savagely murdered. The other one, Clete Harris, a CIA operative posted thousands of miles away, is too someone you don't want to cross. There's a storm brewing through him, and how he takes out the three, is impressively smart and awesome. He strikes up a friendship with Buddy's girlfriend, who provides a shock of revelation near the end. The opening to this flick, is cheaply and trashily exciting, just the start you need, where some of the chase shot is speeded up. What a trick? These baddie mother fu..ers, find a bus full of children been blown up hysterical, which is why we find their demises hysterical. Robert Tessier is legendary as Randy, who illegally houses all this big ammunition, out in the glades, where by a little shooting display, in the wide open spaces was classic, like the pro himself. He teams with Hauser for the final and most important kill. Honestly this is a bit better action film like many of this type, as too Hauser's background and living arrangements were intriguing as some of his tricks, in his strategy of death and vengeance upon these scum. And as an added plus, we have a Chris Rea hit song. For Hauser fans and other that crave action, and revenge, here's a good actioner while being impressive too in the fact, Hauser's pen was partly responsible for this film.

When Hauser wants revenge, you're dead already. You just don't know it yet. Hauser is out to kill every member of a Columbian drug organization because they executed his mother & little brothers. So he's a man with a mission, fair enough. The action & killings in this film get pretty hilarious. At one point Hauser locks a bad guy out on the balcony. He sets him on fire and gives him the choice: burn up or jump off the building. Another baddie gets first blown up, then run over by a speedboat (with Hauser at the steering wheel, of course). One more gets hooked up to a helicopter (by Hauser, naturally) and hitches a ride before plunging to his inevitable death. Wonderful! You simply don't mess with the Hauser.

No safe haven was a typical revenge action movie,Wings Hauser in my opinion is highly underrated,he's one of the rare actors who can play both a hero and a villain convincingly,and he is the best thing in this movie aside from some truly nasty deaths,i like revenge movies because most of them are quite satisfying,i.e.the death wish movies,and this film was no exception,violent and better for it,a strange bondesque pre-credit sequence which hasn't really got anything to do with the plot was the oddest thing in the film,but worth at least one viewing if you like a good old-fashioned,action-packed b-movie.
