What would you do if you were an ATF agent (John Allen Nelson) who knew your bosses were skimming guns, which resulted in your thwarting a bloodbath hit on a Greek Mafia chieftain (Peter Oronati), whose wife (Brenda Bakke) you'd recently taken a liking to? Well, you'd take a temp job with the Greek Mafia if it were offered, wouldn't you? It could happen. And that way you could cozy up to the wife until things cool down at the ATF. Charles Durning adds a weighty presence to the proceedings. Kurtwood Smith does smarmy evil with relish. The violent denouement features many people yelling names with all the pained primalism of Stanley Kowalski crying, "Stella!" --Jim Gay

WoW!!This movie was a real surprise--big Hollywood thrills on a tight budget and tight shooting schedule. I had the great pleasure of watching the premiere of this motion picture in Little Rock, Ar on a huge screen. This movie had it all: great actors & good looking people(Brenda Bakke, Ahna Karin,Charles Durning,Kurtwood Smith,Peter Onarati,Monica Staggs, John Allen Nelson, Costas Mandylor,Linden Ashby...whew!is that all?),awsome shoot-outs,tense chase scenes, heartbreaking love story, betrayal, the great scenery of Arkansas,the D.E.A., the Greek, Russian & Mexican mafias!?!!
The cinematography was beautiful and the movie moves along at a crisp, tight pace...Buy this movie on DVD, today--you will not be disappointed...
*Check out: 1.The scene where the hero is @ the bottem of a swimming pool getting shot @ by the Greek mafia. 2. The shoot-out in the River Market. 3. The Greek henchman in the green, silk shirt--looks like a young Vin Diesel--with hair!? 4. John Allen Nelson, who acts and looks better than Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt--together!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Shelter (DVD)

I really enjoyed this movie - actually I enjoyed it tremendously. I had the opportunity to be a part of this movie. I was an extra in the shooting scene at the marketplace. Being on the actual set of a movie has made me appreciate the making of movies more than ever before! And being able to see myself in the movie was awesome. I can now see why producers, directors, actors, etc. have such a hard job. As far as the story line - excellent! I give it 2 thumbs up!
