4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy the DVD, May 27, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: High Risk (DVD)
The movie HIGH RISK is a good movie. But don't buy a copy of the
DVD. It is the worst looking copy of a film on DVD I have ever
seen. The film looks totally washed out and blury...

4.0 out of 5 stars a true buried treasure for the action/adventure afficiando, April 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: High Risk [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Released in 1981 HIGH RISK suffered the "back of the bus" treatment while higher profile adventure epics like DRAGONSLAYER, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, CLASH OF THE TITANS, and an obscure little flick called RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK took the best seats with reviewers and moviegoers. And it's a bloody shame because this "DELIVERANCE for chuckles" features a crackerjack cast (James Brolin, Cleavon Little, Chick Venera, Lindsay Wagner, Bruce Davison, Anthony Quinn, James Coburn and Ernest Borgnine) all at the top of their game; a tight plot and swift sure-handed direction by Stewart Rafill (THE PHILADELPIA EXPERIMENT); a fast paced Latin-Jazz flavored score by Mark Snow (THE X-FILES); and a cheerful glee in toying with every action/adventure movie cliche' in the book ("what would really happen if you tried to knock someone out with the butt of pistol" - hilarious.The only drawback is in the VHS tape itself - most available versions are recorded in the LP mode and the colors aren't as crisp as they should be. But if you can find a used SP version or you've got to have a grade-A action adventure fix ... you can't do much better.

4.0 out of 5 stars If You Want Action..Then This Is The Movie!, February 10, 2002
This review is from: High Risk [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This has got to be one of the best action movies I have ever seen. Once the action starts it doesn't stop! It will keep you on the edge of your seat. Drug Smugglers parachute into South America to rip off drug dealers but run into all kinds of trouble!! Getting back out was not an easy task for them. Good acting by James Brolin, Cleavon Little, James Colburn, Lindsay Wagner and others. This movie will definately leave all action movie lovers pleased! Well worth the price!
