5.0 out of 5 stars Am excellent vehicle for Woods; first rate "B" movie stuff., October 5, 1999

This review is from: Fast Walking [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A bit like "Blood Simple" for plot twists, this movie lets Woods do his smart guy thing within a fine plot and with excellent supporting characters. This is not as simple a movie as the front page reviews indicate ... there is a lot going on. Woods thinks he is helping an inmate escape; he is not. This is a first rate film and, for the price, should be in your library. Hard to find in video stores. Woods is an excellent actor and this movie lets him act.

This review is from: Fast Walking [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie should be available on DVD-excellent story, great acting by James Woods in a prison movie--check out Kay Lenz--she was some hot chick back when this movie was made. Great scenes of lovemaking between Woods and Lenz. The movie is very very good. Copies of this movie are hard to find so get it when you find it...

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, intriguing, under-rated film!, April 7, 2003

This review is from: Fast Walking [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Has excellent acting by James Woods as well as supporting cast. Intriguing, multi-faceted plot keeps you on edge, with a variety of memorable depictions of shady characters. Includes a few highly sexy scenes. This film deserves to be seen more; certainly a must-see for Woods fans. I cannot understand why it is not available on DVD.
