5.0 out of 5 stars 83 hours till dawn, May 23, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 83 Hours Til Dawn (DVD)
I enjoyed the movie and couldn't get this movie at blockbuster online. I received my dvd very quickly in 3 days and had no troubles with the used dvd. This dvd had the late Robert Urich,and Peter Struass. The daughter of Robert Urich was kidnapped and held for ransom. The movie explores the rescue attempts by the family and authorities and why and how the kidnapper chose his victim. It was a tv fact-based movie.

This review is from: 83 Hours Til Dawn (DVD)
This is a great movie but the DVD copy looks like a very well worn VHS tape. The color is faded, and blurry. Too bad, they had a good one but sold us garbage.
