Editorial Reviews

Whatever you do ... don’t call the cops.

A burned-out legal aid attorney (Peter Weller, RoboCop) reluctantly teams up with a renegade police detective (Sam Elliott, Tombstone) to find the truth behind the fatal shooting of an undercover cop by a notorious drug dealer.

Targeted by a syndicate of corrupt cops and drug lords, the duo blast their way through the underbelly of New York in their unrelenting search for the shocking truth behind the crime. Filmed on the streets of Manhattan, Shakedown features some of the most incredible stunt work and chase sequences ever shot, including a death-defying fight scene atop Coney Island’s Cyclone roller coaster. Delivering non-stop thrills from start to finish, Shakedown is one the most entertaining high-speed cop films ever made and among the best from action genre vet James Glickenhaus (The Soldier, The Exterminator).

No Shakedown here, this disc is worth the purchase!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018

This is a great looking disc of an 80s cult classic and the extras include some fun commentary and interviews with filmmaker James Glickenhaus on the making of the movie. If you haven't seen the film here is a review...
Shakedown is an 80s action guilty pleasure from Exterminator director James Glickenhaus that is not only his best film, but a darn entertaining cop thriller that is one of the last to take place in NYC before the 42nd street clean up and thus presents New York in all it's sleazy pre-90s glory. Shakedown is the story of public defender Roland Dalton (Peter Weller) who is moving on to a Wall Street law firm, run by his future father in-law, and as his last case, defends a drug dealer (Richard Brooks) accused of killing a cop. But the dealer says it was self defense, he was defending himself in a robbery and the officer never identified himself. Dalton investigates along with lone wolf cop Richie Marks (Sam Elliot) and they discover a conspiracy of criminals and dirty cops who now want them both dead.

Aside from it's dirty backstreet depiction of New York and some over the top action scenes, what really makes Shakedown work is that Elliot and Weller makes such a great team. They work very well together and it's a shame the film never caught on enough to further the adventures of Marks and Dalton. The characters and the actors who portray them, really click and begged for a series. Supporting cast all perform well, too, including Antonio "Huggy Bear" Fargas as drug lord Nicky Carr and hot Patricia Charbonneau as the assistant D.A. and Dalton's former flame. Sure some of the action is a bit overblown and the FX in the final showdown very cheesy, but Shakedown, as directed by Glickenhaus, is a down and dirty good time with a New York City bathed in neon lights, covered with empty crack vials and where sex, drugs and murder are a common occurrence. Add some 80s nostalgia to the mix and you have a whole six pack worth of Saturday night entertainment. One of my favorite 80s guilty pleasure action flicks. A fun movie.

sloppy and a strangley liberal action flick

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

This film seems to be made at the end of the liberal anti hero era in films from the 70s/90s. All cops are crooked, all lawyers are saviors. Its seems to be an action film that pushes a simplistic liberal action concept. (and action films are usually a conservative mind simplistic genre) . Don't get me wrong, I am more of a liberal, but this film uses some very broad strokes. Its also very sloppy. Then, I found the answer. Before I wrote my review, I saw that the director also directed one of the sloppiest 90s action films I have seen, McBain. I laughed when I watched McBain, this film is not that bad. So now I understand, the director made very sloppy movies, probably straight to Betamax. This film is OK, its has a few great stunt, chase scenes which save the film. Both main actors, weller and Elliot, have unusual speech patterns, which are good and annoying at the same time. I am kinda done with watching Weller in any more films for awhile. Elliot, maybe. But, it really is a waste of time, to watch a sloppy film with a few minutes of some good chase scenes and some interesting shots of a sleazy times square NYC before Giuliani cleaned it up. I recommend skipping this one.

A quintessential 1980s police story.

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a spoiler review, kinda. Overall, it reminded me of other 1980s era police stories I've seen, only with the main protagonist being a lawyer. It was mostly a good story but the ending was kinda messed up when the "good guys" blew up a plane with the bad guys on it, killed the pilot and co-pilot in the collateral and then pat each other on the back. That part seemed kind of messed up.

Goofy Action Flick.

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I remember watching this in the late '80s and being disappointed. I think that I enjoyed it more this time because of my low expectations, plus it was fun to see Weller and Elliott at the beginning of their marquis star status.

The story is goofy but enjoyable and also disjointed. Weller is a legal aid lawyer about to sell out to Wall Street because he is marrying money, and Elliott is an honest cop living in a theater who is estranged from his wife. Weller and Elliott know each other - they are friends with a history, it seems - but why that is the case is never explained. They actually have good chemistry together. Weller catches a case where his client is innocent of murdering a cop; the client is a drug dealer who shot the dishonest cop in self-defense. Elliott works with the same band of dishonest cops that this cop belonged to. Somehow these cops are involved with a gangster - an African-American hip gangster because it is the '80s - who they initially raid but later they work with for no reason that is ever explained. When action is required, the bad guys open fire on innocent bystanders and explosions ensue with no concern for the safety of anyone.

Weird, but hey, it was the '80s.

The story line is disjointed. There are leaps of story-telling, e.g., why does Weller think it is such a brilliant idea to break into the police headquarters rather than asking Elliott to get the evidence? Who knows, it just happens. And how does ripping some wires off the back of a roller coaster cause it to jump the tracks? Again, stuff just happens.

So long as you don't think about what you are watching, it is a popcorn action-adventure flick that rewards the price of a rental.

Better DVD

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I had a different version of this movie & stumbled upon this release. Since I like this movie & it hasn't been released on bluray I took a gamble on this dvd & it does look better than the one I had. This IMO is a B rated, cool flick. I say B rated because most people have never heard of or seen this movie. Sam Elliot & Peter Weller give solid performances. This movie is about dope, dope dealers, crooked cops & the goods guys which are Sam, an undercover cop & Peter, a lawyer who gets caught up in the middle of it all. A great movie to add to your collection.

Peter Weller and Sam Elliott are both really good, and the supporting cast ranges from not that bad to pretty good, and I actually got pulled in by the plot.

Shakedown is a good action movie starring Peter Weller of Robocop fame and Sam Elliott from "Roadhouse".
It's about two guys fighting police corruption in the department in New York city. There are some good action
sequences and overall it's enjoyable to watch. Peter Weller is in a different role as a lawyer and Sam Elliott
is a undercover cop. If you are a fan of Sam Elliott i suggest you watch his movie "The Hero". I think
that you will enjoy his performance in this heartfelt movie. "Rockin Ron".

Weller and Elliott in a must-see

Reviewed in Canada on February 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

The films holds up really well. I really liked in the 80s, mostly because it had Weller and Elliott in it (what's not to love?). However, now, it also has the added benefit of capturing NYC before it got clean. The scenes are 42nd Street are an amazing time capsule. The additional pieces with the director are insightful and a good bonus. However, the real feature is the movie itself. Another excellent addition from Shout Factory.

Cool movie even if it could've used a lil more Sam Elliott but that's just me. Peter Weller (Robocop) is awesome as the take-action lawyer who actually gets his hands dirty in gunfights bike chases etc. Definitely check it out if your a fan of either.
