VHS movie reviews for "Gary-Busey" sorted by average review score:
Detour
Released in VHS Tape by Usa Films (06 June, 2000)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Joey Travolta
Average review score:

Don't Detour around this video!
I won't lie and say this movie was a great movie, but it was worth the money to buy it. I am not sure if this was Travolta's first film that he directed, but he did a decent job. What brought the movie together was the interesting cast. The indestructable Gary Busey, and the scene-stealing Michael Madsen alone make this movie worth watching. If you are a fan of either of these guys, you will not be disappointed.

Under Siege Giftset
Released in VHS Tape by Warner Studios (19 May, 1998)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Andrew Davis
Starring: Steven Seagal, Gary Busey, Tommy Lee Jones, and Erika Eleniak
Average review score:

Superb
Both of the Under Siege movies are great! The original is excellent, with good action scenes and a great script, while the second is good, but has a few flaws, such as Seagal outrunning a train. Other than that, a superb film, and a great set!

Drop Zone
Released in VHS Tape by Paramount Studio (01 June, 1999)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: John Badham
Starring: Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey
Average review score:

People actually LIKE this movie?
Well for a weak plot, and inferior effects, I guess it's ok. Who am I kidding!? This movie was not good at all! Snipes has done much, MUCH better than this, although it wasn't all his fault. I believe the most entertaining part was with the photocopier, and if I had to pick one outstanding pathetic part, it would be the chick saving Snipes' rear end, without safety gear. (By the way, physics determines that little flying upwards stunt utterly impossible) Why one star? Because I had to put something! Anyway, if you liked this movie, all the power to you, but I did not find it that great.

Drop in for some fun!
Wesley Snipes is after the bad guys that use high-tech computer equipment to expose undercover DEA agents in the USA ... naturally the drug kingpins will pay a fortune if they can deliver ... Can Snipes stop them, avenge his brother's death and learn to skydive? hmmm .... it's anybody's guess ... no not really ... engaging but predictable ...

Gary Busey is the on-the-edge-lunatic-bad-guy (ummm, "Surviving the Game", "Lethal Weapon", "Under Siege", et al) so no surprises here ... Yancy Butler ("Hard Target") is always likable ... Claire Stansfield is a bonus and I was pleasantly surprised to find her in a "Frasier" episode ... she turns in a decent performance as a bad girl here ... and who would have thought we'd find Michael Jeter in with the bad guys? Well, he's reluctant but quite indifferent to the DEA agents he exposes ...

Of course, lots of jumps and skydiving scenes blended in ... director is John Badham from "War Games". Andy Romano has been in a lot of action flicks recently ... you'll recognize him as the Admiral from "Under Siege" ...

A skydiving movie that really flies high
I haven't ever skydived before, but I do like watching movies about skydiving. I also liked "Terminal Velocity," but "Drop Zone" is a lot better. Wesley Snipes stars as a U.S. Marshal who tries to catch some terrorists that hijacked a plane that he was on and their actions resulted in the death of his brother. Snipes believes that it was a set up, but he's the only one that thinks that, so it's up to him to figure it out by himself. To do this, Wesley Snipes learns a new hobby and starts skydiving himself while trying to figure out and catch the terrorists in action.

"Drop Zone" is a good movie. Its plot might be choppy in parts, but that's about the only thing wrong with the movie. The skydiving sequences are the best and most exciting I've ever seen in any movie, and Wesley Snipes is hilarious in some parts such as when he skydives for the first time and screams the whole way down. The movie's soundtrack is another good thing about the movie.

Whether you like skydiving or not, if you like good action movies I recommend getting "Drop Zone."

Tribulation
Released in VHS Tape by Cloud Ten Pictures (05 June, 2001)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: Andre van Heerden
Average review score:

Worth watching!
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour in 1986 and since then I have been interested in the book of Revelation. I have heard different interpretations of what will happen in the Rapture and tribulation period, and I think it will be very different from what was depicted in this movie. I think the Anti-Christ will be more normal and human and subtle than he was depicted in this video. Some things that were very good about the movie were the wonderful acting by Gary Busey. Especially near the end. He really got into the character. Another good thing was the message that having a relationship with our creator, Jesus Christ is the most important goal and priority we should have. Some day soon everyone will realise that it is ALL that matters. I recommend you watch this series of videos and then read the book of Revelation...get a bible called The Message...it is really easy to understand, also read the book of Romans and John. Most of all get to know Jesus, He`s real and waiting to hear from you : ) He is just a prayer away.

Tribulation is a great movie no matter how you look at it
Other reviews stated that they weren't sure the Book of Revelation is true or not. Others say the portrayal of the great Tribulation isn't all that good, while others loved it.

The movie is an excellant movie. All that it attempts to do is take one of many possible scenarios of how Anti-Christ can rule and control people after God has taken His believers home with Him. The movie shouldn't be taken at full face value for that reason because no one knows for sure how anti-Christ will be able to rule and have power.

The route they chose I think is good, because it combines true action, suspense, and sci-fi, that any good movie lover desires. The overall message is there, that there will come a time on our planet when Tribulation will come to all and people will have to choose either faith in God, or the Mark of the beast. Rather than be "preachy" and "bible-thumping" the movie just seeks to portray very well just one possible scenario. I would strongly recommend the movie, the acting is fantastic, the production quality superb, the musical scores are very supportive, it's a great movie. Buy it, you'll see, and ignore any negative reviews.

Excellent Movie!!
I really enjoyed this movie. Gary Busey's performance was excellent. This film really gave you something to think about with regards to the end times. Anyone who is a follower and believer in Jesus Christ will enjoy it and those who have not yet found Christ can benefit from it as well. My children watched the film with me and they enjoyed it too!

Soldier
Released in VHS Tape by Warner Studios (05 June, 2001)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Paul W.S. Anderson
Starring: Kurt Russell
Kurt Russell hits new heights in laconic action heroes with his portrayal of Sergeant Todd, born and bred to be a soldier in a futuristic army. Raised to kill mercilessly, living only for battle, he finds himself at the twilight of his career (and so-called life) when a regiment of genetically enhanced warriors threatens to make his brand of soldiering obsolete. Despite his extensive skills, he is no match for the best of breed of the new order, and he's left for dead on a planet that serves only as a junk heap. There he encounters a ragtag group of castaways, and in his own strange and silent way slowly begins to learn how to be less a killer and more a human. All is disrupted, though, when the genetic regiment arrives on the trash planet and decides to eradicate the local human "trespassers." Though Todd had been overmatched before, this time he has more than ever to fight for--a home, and friends. Soldier is one of those rare sci fi movies that relies more on plot and action than special effects (though the trash planet is effectively wrought). The pace of action in the last half of the film is relentless and exciting, and Russell's portrayal of the old warrior as he warms to human emotions relies more on expression than words--in fact, he barely utters more than a half-dozen lines. --Tod Nelson

ode to what could have been ...
You know, if anyone has ever read any of my other reviews, you'll realize that I've got a horrible pet peeve about movies that have a lot of potential and flop miserably. I don't think a movie has been made yet that exemplifies this more then Paul Anderson's 'Soldier.'

This movie REALLY could have been mind-blowing had it not been held back by Anderson's chronic lack of any imagination (see my other reviews of Paul Anderson's work). If this material was being molded by ANYBODY with any sense of vision or especially scope, this movie might have been as popular as the Matrix is now. 'Soldier' was CRYING to be done on a grand scale. How cool would it have been to have seen a huge 'Saving Private Ryan' meets 'Attack of the Clones'-type battle scene? Instead we get work that looks like it was done in a high school auditorium.

Look at things like the horribly dull set designs (not bad per se, but just no creativity), the poor lighting, the stereotyped lemming-civilian characters, and the clichéd villains. It's awful how phoned-in this movie just seemed.

The tragic part is that Kurt Russell was terrific in it and was just surrounded by people (actors and production crew alike) that just had no interest (or maybe ability) in trying to add flavor to the VAST RESOURCES they had at their disposal.

I actually cringe when I think about just how cool this could have been compared to the body of work that everyone seemed content to turn in.

Don't laugh!
I think this movie is one of the most overlooked of recent years. People may laugh, but I thought Kurt Russell was perfect in this--he gets my Oscar for that year. Too bad you never get nominated for a real action flick.

He says 80 words (not certain on that, but I counted them once!) but packs more into his performance than any of today's more acclaimed "actors". I've never seen an actor express so effectively with their eyes. So often I see a close up these days and either am not sure what emotion they are trying to show, or I know exactly what they are trying to display but can't help notice how poorly they are showing it.

Maybe part of it comes from the character, I'll admit. His emotions are buried due to his lifelong training, but he's seen some things that have tremendous emotional impact, so you are expecting there's something deep inside that wants to get out. And then Kurt shows it, and very effectively.

In summary, this is my favorite of the highly specific Terminator/Robocop/Ultimate Soldier sub-genre, and ends up being one of my very favorite action movies.

Sue me, I loved this movie
I just want to thank Kurt Russell for doing this movie. It's not often that A-list quality actors do movies like this. Sure, it had a fairly low budget, but that never got in the way. Every dollar is on the screen. I'm glad I bought it; I've already seen it two or three times and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're searching for a plot heavy, dramatic, Oscar-caliber movie, then I would urge you to keep looking. If you're a guy (or gal) who is sometimes in the mood for a good, lean, military sci-fi flic, then I urge you to check this one out.

GARBAGE!
I can't believe that they had enough nerve to make this movie. Complete trash! I wouldn't watch this movie again if they paid me.

Much better than I expected, the best NO LIMIT film
I was surprised when I saw this movie, I bought a used copy really cheap and the last movie I seen with Snoop Dogg at the time was URBAN MENACE which I rented and was hugely dissapointed but this was an actual movie and everybody seems to do there best to make sure that it won't turn up on the same page as I GOT THE HOOK UP which was a really bad No Limit Film...

The movie is made with cheap camera systems so the camera work might not be Hollywood-class, but the movie itself is very entertaining and SILKK THE SHOCKER is prob. the best actor in the NO LIMIT family...

A warning though to the people who wants to see it only becouse of SNOOP DOGG, his screentime is about the time that METHOD MAN had in belly and NAS had in TICKER so u can't really be thinking that I wanna watch it becouse Snoop is in it cuz he's not in it too much... However the movie is very entertaining (Not as good as Boyz N The Hood or Menace II Society but which films are?)

Pretty good movie by No Limit Films
This movie was pretty cool. It featured Silkk,C-Murder,Snoop,Mystikal,A.J. Johnson,Gary Busey and more. Yhe starring role belonged to Silkk playing a character known as "Cool". He was a good kid and had a blakc belt in karate and wanted to be a rapper. But is girlfriend got convicted of a crime and she was pregnant in jail with his baby. She died in prison by being beaten, and "Cool" just flipped out. He forgot about life and went into the neverending dope game. With his click known as the Hotboyz(C-Murder,Snoop,Mystikal,A.J. Johnson). The got into slaning and dealing with cocain until they got caught. This was a cool movie, if you see it somewhere chech it out.

The Firm
Released in VHS Tape by Paramount Studio (27 August, 2002)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Sydney Pollack
Starring: Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Gene Hackman
By far the best adaptation of a John Grisham bestseller, this smart, fast-paced 1993 film--directed by Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa)--offers up the dilemma of a young lawyer whose life is turned upside down when he takes a job at a Southern law firm owned by the mob. Mitch McDeere (Tom Cruise), having just graduated from Harvard Law, is besieged with offers but takes a job, too good to be true, with a small Memphis firm. He and his wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn), are sucked in by the seemingly close-knit, collegial nature of the firm's partners and the expensive perks that come with the job. His mentor, Avery (Gene Hackman), teaches him the ropes, but Mitch and Abby begin to sense there's something wrong with this idyllic life. When a couple of associates turn up dead, Mitch begins to investigate the history of the firm; and when the FBI asks him to spy on the firm for them, Mitch realizes his life will never be the same and that, if discovered, he, his wife, and his long-lost brother will be in mortal danger. Mitch must use all his talents as a lawyer to outsmart the firm, the FBI, and the mob in order to reclaim control over his life. A very entertaining thriller that engages the audience at a breakneck pace while not taking itself too seriously. It also features some fine writing and strong performances from a large cast of exceptional actors. --Robert Lane
Average review score:

Highly Entertaining--Great Acting
Okay, so Tom Cruise gets a job at a Memphis law firm, right? We've all read the book or seen the movie, so how does one recommend this to one uninitiated?

Cruise puts in a solid performance, again playing his guy-who-doesn't-catch-on-for-a-while character he does so well. Sydney Pollack is a great mainstream director, and he pushes all the buttons, as well as giving us a great cast including Gene Hackman, Holly Hunter, Ed Harris, Jeanne Tripplehorn, David Straithairn, Gary Busey, Hal Holbrook, and Wilford Brimley.

Top-notch acting all around, with especially good turns by Brimley and Hunter, playing against type. Hackman is always good to watch and he does a terrific job of making Avery Tolar a likeable guy in spite of his faults. I suppose the most amazing job was done by David Straithairn, who, with less than ten minutes of screen time, paints an indelible portrait of Ray McDeere, Cruise's convict brother. He is the most likeable character in the film.

The plot is the standard rising-above-conflict stuff. Watch this movie (again) for the performances, or for the fine score from Dave Grusin and try to ignore the changes from the book (which I think were justified in making the ending more cinematic and Hollywood).

Excellent
I first saw 'The Firm' just because it sounded interesting. What I didn't know, though, was that I was in for quite a treat! I enjoyed every minute of this intense thriller, from the beginning until the surprise ending (though I'm tempted to tell what happens, I'll let you find out for yourself!). I tell a bit of the story here, so it is possible they may be regarded as **SPOILERS**, so if you don't want to know anything about the movie, STOP READING.

Tom Cruise shows off one of his best performances as Mitch McDeere, the formally poor boy who goes off to Harvard Law School and graduates cume laude. He goes to many prestigious firms, all of whom want him real bad. One firm, though, Bendini, Lambert, and Locke, strikes his interest. In return for joining, he gets $100,000 per year, and a shiny new Mercedes. He accepts, and he and his wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn), fly to Memphis, where they get a nice house, with most of it payed for by the firm. The story unfolds, and through the course of events, Mitch learns the dark truth about his firm. . .

The acting is superb in this film. Tom Cruise's performance reminds me of his in 'A Few Good Men'; strong and realistic. Jeanne Tripplehorn is a pleasure to watch as his wife Abby. Gene Hackman plays a surprisingly sympathetic role as a partner in the firm. Holly Hunter (who received an Oscar-nomination for her role) is almost humorous as a southern-twanged secretary-turned victim-turned accomplice. Ed Harris brings his usual fine acting style as an FBI agent, and veteran actor Hal Holbrook plays a grandfatherly lawyer more evil than his attitude would imply. Sydney Pollack's directing is radiant, and the single piano score by Dave Grusin can be both calm and content, then become fast and furious.

In conclusion, 'The Firm' is a fun, fresh thriller, and it should be enjoyed for years to come.

A Firmly Gripping Thriller !
In this screen adaption of one of John Grisham's most thrilling legal novels, Tom Cruise plays a graduating Harvard law student that is recruited by many of the nation's top law firms. He ends up choosing a firm based in Memphis, where he takes his school-teacher wife and shaggy dog to a seemingly perfect life ahead of them both. The trouble begins when Cruise gets suspicious about a murder that has occurred to one of the firm's lawyers. The action then begins there where Crusie enters a world of glitz, money, and not to mention murder in this thrilling film. With the firm hot on his heels in pursuit to silence him, Cruise exposes the truth about the firm's dirty secrets that are sure to be a shocker.
