4.0 out of 5 stars This movie has a better story line than any of the series., October 15, 1999

This review is from: The Belarus File (Kojak) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A great story! Kojak investigates a series of recent killings that involve Russian Jews that worked with the Germans 40 years earlier to help imprison Jews in Hitler's concentration camps. Kojak is tied closely to the case by friends that are in the middle of the case. Susan Pleshette gives a great performance as Kojak's unofficial assistant and possible love interest. Max Von Sydow is, as always, great.

This review is from: The Belarus File (Kojak) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a Kojak come back type of TV movie that was a hit when it came out. It was replayed for a few years, and I may have watched every time I knew it was on. There were so many dynamics to the movie, surprising to me that it has not become digitized by someone who is a Kojak fanatic. I liked Kojak, but this film was very well done, Jewish immigrants and White Russian immigrants finding each other in NYC. I reminded me a little of the Marathon Man, but with a twist, and this was from the same time period when the movie was actually made. Suzanne Pleshett is just great getting involved with Theo Kojak and Telly's response was excellent. For Kojak, this was one very deep investigation and it reminds me of how shows like CSI and others go through the crime solving process yet without the body parts.

Definately worth it if you have a VHS. I have been looking for this movie all over the place and it is here now posted on Amazon through the above seller. Get this video and ask someone to digitize it.
