This is basically raw John Woo: bullets flying, fire blazing, good guys, bad guys, this movie has the whole ball of wax! In Woo's 1st American flick, Jean Claude Van Damme high-kicks and shoots as many baddies as he can trying to find the killers of the father of Yancer Butler's character right in the heart of the deep South.
Van Damme is as physically fit as ever. He sports a Kurt Russel-style hairdo in this movie, but his voice is as incoherent as always! His Belgium accent was really "hard" to understand, and it got to my nerves throughout the whole film!!
But, he busts up the good guys with real finesse. Arnold Vosloo and Lance Henrikson also light up the screen with their sleazy yet very believeable villain performances. The fight and shootout scenes in this film are amazing. Watching "Hard Target" was really a great experience, and it was worth the $2.10 rental! Watch the gunfight behind the wall between Van Damme and Vosloo. It might remind you of a good "Face/Off"!!

What would you do if you had a back-stabbing wife or a beastly, overbearing mother? You'd kill them, of course! But, you need to establish a really good alibi for their deaths, though. That's the problem Danny Devito and Billy Crystal must decipher in this hilarius flick. Crystal is Larry, a novelist whose pompous wife stole his manuscript, and Devito is Owen, a poor guy who gets picked on by his Frankenstein for a mother, played by Anne Ramsey, who has the best performance in the whole flick. The chemistry between Crystal and Devito are great, especially during the escapades in Owen's house, where Larry gets his nuts clobbered and get thrown down the basement, while Owen gets his face slapped on by Momma!
Now here is a show with the goods. "The A-team" is one of the best one-hour action thrillers ever to be broadcasted in TV history. It includes 4 tough and cool heroes, played by the late, great George Peppard, slick Dirk Benedict, the hysterical Dwight Schultz, and arguably the most popular star of the show, Mr. T. These heroes are wanted for a crime they did not commit over in 'Nam, and they've been running from the law ever since. Along the way to clear themselves of the heat put upon them, the band helps others who are victimized by crazed goons. With great action sequences, cool one-liners like "I love it when a plan comes together" and "Shut up, fool!!" and a catchy theme song makes "The A-team" one of the most enjoyable, adrenaline-pumping shows ever. If you don't agree, then you're a real stupid fool!!
