Customer Rating: Summary: 2 and a Half Comment: I saw this movie a long time ago on HBO and remembered it as being a good movie and very interesting. I took it out the other day and put it in and watched it again. I must say that it seems dated now. I would like to see them remake Barry Seals story now. Hopper is ok but he pretty much is 'Dennis Hopper' with a fake accent. The movie is still good and informative but it just seems like and early 80's movie. The characters are kind of cartoonish and the acting is kind of second rate and that takes away from the realism. Customer Rating: Summary: If you like a good real life story, you will enjoy this film Comment: It starred the great actor Dennis Hopper as Berry Seal, a DEA informant. He was hoping to get no time in jail if he helped the government in their pathetic "war on drugs" (liberals and conservatives can agree it's been a complete failure). Hopper's portrayal of Seal gives me the impression that the informant was a brash adventurer who smuggled drugs just as much for the thrill as for the money. When caught, he didn't turn on his partners in crime but did help get evidence about the drug smugglers in South America. He did risk his life and he should have got what the government promised. What he got was doubled-crossed.
Seal was far from an upstanding citizen but his treatment by our government is reprehensible. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful movie, yet sad on our Goverments actions!!!! Comment: I am friends with the characters(Barry and Camp) kids. This movie is such a great piece of art on just how the Columbian drug lords work and how corrupt the government is. This true story is touching, it is about a man who brought down the South American drug cartel single handedly, and was double crossed by a judge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Oliver North after he completed his task given to him by our government. It is a 11 out of 10. A NEED TO SEE MOVIE!! Customer Rating: Summary: Stimulating thriller! Comment: Dennis Hopper, is a true living legend. This singular and talented actor that so many good performances has done, it shines with this clever script as a casting agent' s dream come true as drug smuggler. Interesting and well effective.
Above the average.
