5.0 out of 5 stars
Not as bad as Critics proclaimed
Not a bad German action-movie. Main star: Dennis Hopper, Lot's of good action-stunts and flashbacks, professionally done. This is not a must see film, but I think you will not regret it.

HOPPER THE HERO?
The ever-present Dennis Hopper plays the hero for a change in this German-made thriller that has some good moments, but still seems a little forced and talky at times. Hopper plays a former Vietnam vet whose protege is killing people in revenge of his young daughter's death probably caused by a nuclear power plant. German actor Heinz Frecke looking like a pumped up...

HOPPER THE HERO?,
By Michael Butts (Berkeley Springs, WV USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Straight Shooter (DVD)
The ever-present Dennis Hopper plays the hero for a change in this German-made thriller that has some good moments, but still seems a little forced and talky at times. Hopper plays a former Vietnam vet whose protege is killing people in revenge of his young daughter's death probably caused by a nuclear power plant. German actor Heinz Frecke looking like a pumped up Bruce Willis is stoically effective as the "straight shooter". The movie attempts to connect the current killings with Frecke's time in Vietnam where he mistakenly killed two children in a raid. While the effect isn't quite as devastating as the writer intended, it still lends some credibility to the script. The movie's abrupt and puzzling ending are a little unsatisfactory, though.

This review is from: Straight Shooter [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Dennis Hopper is still in (just barely) good enoughshape to pull this role off in this not bad german action / thiller (with english subtitles). Main prop here is a dual story (unfortunately Anti-Nuke) about german special forces guy who was in Vietam(?!) with crack [Col. James] 'Bo' Gritz-style unit commanded by Hopper. 'Straight Shooter' was the ultimate killing machine, 'created' by Hopper. He has never adjusted well to life outside the field and his daughter's death he blames on those who run Nuclear Power Plant nearbye. He picks them off one by one and KILLS all who try to stop him. Shades of the recent german first woman Chancellor, he finally gets her too!! Look for Hopper taking out 'S.S.' @ the end and a good but brief cameo by ex-NFL/XFL & current 10-yr. NFL E vet TE Werner Hippler, as a Secret Service type at the female District Attorney's sons' daycare place guarding him. He also had bit roles in german films: Die Wache and Der Clown, the best of the three he started in...
