The second of, what I describe as, Gene Hackman’s Missing in Action trilogy following Uncommon Valour.
Movie Stuffs
Uncommon Valour (1983)
There is no shortage of missing in action prisoner of war movies from the 80’s, however, featuring a terrific cast and a director of note Uncommon Valour is far from your typical ‘Nam action.
Exit Speed (2008)
Exit Speed has enough action to get you through it, there just isn’t anything to write home about.
Brigade of Death (1985)
An obscure and notorious nasty Brigade des moeurs or Bridge of Death is a little French thriller from 1985 with some bold moments.
Hijack (1998)
I have a high tolerance for crap but a soft spot for this. It’s messy, ugly and hardly thrilling. However, it’s fun, interesting and full of enjoyable performances.

Body Puzzle rarely entertains and even has trouble maintaining interest along the way despite some fine performances and some brief moments of violence.
Lethal Tender (1996)
Lethal Tender is a film that I am embarrassed to say I have seen several times. The first time, I dug it. Second I was a bit bored. Third was trash. Fourth…
Dead Bang (1989)

Blue Steel seems to have disappeared from view and recognition walking a tight line between cop thriller and psychological drama
