I bought this only because Clooney was in it and I wanted to see his early work. He stars as ex-surfing champion Mark Remar, who turns to drug-running after an injury forces him to retire. His girlfriend (Dedee Pfeiffer)accidently gets pregnant with his child and she decides to move to Portland the escape the drug life. He wants to join her, but decides to do one last score. END

This is a good film thanks to the great acting talent of one George Clooney. Before his ER Days and major movie stardom Clooney played a surfer who suffers a injury turns to the drug running business to make a living. But things get out of hand when his girlfriend decides to leave him and gets himself invovled with a dangerous drug dealer. Most of the film is pretty much formaulic but it's still worthwhile wacthing. When seeing this film it's hard not to notice the acting talent Clooney has and has accumlated since then. A great film to watch if you want to see Clooney's earlier work.

I was impressed with young, handsome George Clooney in this movie. The script wasn't bad though it had a weak ending. DeDee Pfieffer was very good.

What a piece of work this is. Watching George Clooney run around with long hair and pretend to be a drug runner? Come on... No wonder this movie never recieved a theatrical release.Bad acting lighting and really bad camera work sink this shipwreck. To bad the tides couldn't have washed this film out to sea.

One of George Clooney's earlier efforts, RED SURF is about as exciting as doing dishes. Murky editing, tedious plotting and mediocre acting help in sinking this tale of drug dealers who decide to do one last job before trying out respectable lives. Joining Clooney are Doug Savant (Melrose Place), Deedee Pfeiffer (Grease 2 - she must like being in unintended disaster movies), and Philip McKeon (whose only purpose is to spout profanities in each line of dialogue). Nothing to recommend this forgettable flick.
