Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

ZARATHUSTRA55 Gary Busey is no actor-He is dynamite.Firing through this movie like a man long used to bottling lightening and still loving it; even the most casual observer will be incapable of indifference. His turn here as Ted Andrews,(a Vietnam vet with a heart of gold that however tolerates no nonsense)is as nonsensical as it is enthralling.But by goodness is it enthralling. The plot, it has to be said, is somewhat unfeasible: 'Man talks his ex-wife into accepting that their children ought to accompany him on an unnecessary and dangerous Journey to Australia to sell his luxury Yaught. On route said Yaught is attacked by a bunch of evil blah blah blah blah ad nauseum' - However, in this wonderful world of Gary Busey, such things as plot and feasibility seem quite peripheral and simply nothing to worry about. In fact, i challenge anyone to consider in a cool manner such rational things whilst faced with the captivating, rich and insane flicker sitting just behind Gary Busey's eyes. Absolutely brilliant!

london_mg This film was so bad and naff I had to fast forward some of the scenes to get through the predictable & cringy parts. It's obviously the epitome of an 80's B movie, with mostly B actors and B acting. Busey fails abysmally in his attempt at playing the good, heroic, family guy but ends up competing (for an Oscar nomination?) with Laura Warner in a series of hilarious over-the-top dual performances. Everything from the stunts, production, sound, (tacky) soundtrack, picture etc. cheap and it's weird because it looks like the children's voices were dubbed with adult ones which makes their performance even worse than it is already. There is absolutely nothing memorable from neither of the characters or lines apart from perhaps the gun tooting blonde bimbo who gets chucked out of the Hotel balcony but only for obvious reasons LOL. Ray Shark is totally unbelievable as the head of the terrorist gang and just ends up making you laugh pitifully at him and his character's style. I was baffled to find out that Arnold Vosloo (perhaps I shouldn't be given his B-movie portfolio) was in this rubbish as well, looking like some gangly Euro boy in full 80's B-movie gear & hairdo. It makes other second-rate films with him in like "Con express" look like Hollywood masterpieces. My advice to anyone, is stay away from this horrible film! Sorry but I'm really shocked at some of the comments I've read here, is there something I missed?? John Cardos is lucky to have such loyal fans

christophaskell I sat through it, turned it off, ejected it, rewound it, and went on about my day as if nothing had happened. A few hours later I'm sitting down to write this review and I can think of absolutely nothing to write. I know I watched it, and stayed awake for the whole thing, but I was so entirely unaffected by this that here, only a few hours later, I've already forgotten everything. Stay away from this for no other reason than it's terrible. Not a single part is remotely interesting. Rating: 5/40

Renaldo Matlin Rich guy Busey takes the matters into his own hands when his yacht is hijacked and his family taken hostage by cold blooded terrorists. Brutal "action-adventure" not worthy an actor of Gary Busey's calibre.
