Presented in a "one movie per disc" format, the NON-STOP ACTION 8 Movie Pack primarily consists of Euro-made thrillers. The two American selections here are a biker flick co-written by action film director Jonathan Demme ("Angels...") and a semi-comic story of three bumbling bail bondsmen ("Bail Out").

Also included:
A retired safecracker looks for one more big payday ("The Master Touch")
An American woman travels to the Middle East to rescue her child ("Beyond Justice")
A South Africa-based spy film ("Cape Town Affair")
The CIA and KGB clash in Cuba over a hi-tech weapon ("Laser Mission")
Four buddies steal five million dollars from a South American drug dealer ("High Risk")
Drama unfolds aboard a small sailboat between its German captain and his two female British passengers ("Kill Cruise")


The WWII 8 Movie Pack (also from St. Clair) offers action of a different sort.
