Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

videorama-759-859391 This was a comeback for Hauser. And I must say, it was one I like. He co wrote it too, and it isn't a badly made film. Revenge has always been sweet but it some cases, it can never be so deadly. Hauser's brother, a grid iron player who a drug habit, who got in with some bad people, one such guy, who you don't cross, Manuel (Branscombe Richmond), who asks him to throw the game, but he doesn't, bringing hell down on him. He and his mother and his younger brother are savagely murdered. The other one, Clete Harris, a CIA operative posted thousands of miles away, is too someone you don't want to cross. There's a storm brewing through him, and how he takes out the three, is impressively smart and awesome. He strikes up a friendship with Buddy's girlfriend, who provides a shock of revelation near the end. The opening to this flick, is cheaply and trashily exciting, just the start you need, where some of the chase shot is speeded up. What a trick? These baddie mother fu..ers, find a bus full of children been blown up hysterical, which is why we find their demises hysterical. Robert Tessier is legendary as Randy, who illegally houses all this big ammunition, out in the glades, where by a little shooting display, in the wide open spaces was classic, like the pro himself. He teams with Hauser for the final and most important kill. Honestly this is a bit better action film like many of this type, as too Hauser's background and living arrangements were intriguing as some of his tricks, in his strategy of death and vengeance upon these scum. And as an added plus, we have a Chris Rea hit song. For Hauser fans and other that crave action, and revenge, here's a good actioner while being impressive too in the fact, Hauser's pen was partly responsible for this film.

Comeuppance Reviews Clete Harris (Hauser) is a CIA agent who is undercover in Honduras, using a remote Peace Corps station for his base. When he finds out his beloved brother Buddy (Campitelli), a star football player, was murdered in a drug deal gone wrong, Clete comes back to America to find the culprit. This evildoer even killed his own mother. It turns out it's psychotic gangster Manuel (Richmond) and his gang of goons. Clete then makes it his mission to track them all down and get revenge. To help him in this mission, he recruits Popeye (Tessier), a survivalist type. They both end up in Bolivia and the final battle ensues.No Safe Haven starts humorously enough, with Branscombe Richmond screaming while shooting his guns, and a Roger Corman-style "fast motion" car chase follows. Once Wings appears on screen, we remember why we're watching this. He brings his classic charisma in spades. Richmond makes a great baddie, and his over-the-top yelling and drug-running, loan-sharking evilness make you want to see more of his work. He makes a great villain to play opposite the lovable Wings.Robert Tessier almost steals the movie as the down-and-dirty Popeye. True to his name, he even proudly sports a corncob pipe! Thankfully he also has his no-shirt-and-jean-jacket combo as well to round out his wardrobe. It was nice to see him in a kindlier performance. He can easily play a heavy, as evidenced in Future Zone.This movie is the only directorial effort to date from Ronnie Rondell, a man well-known in the stunt world. His inexperience shows in some of the pacing - it slows way down before the climax, which is a common pitfall, but the movie becomes an El Presidente flick seemingly out of the blue right at the last minute. While that might seem a bit mundane, the reason, presumably, why it happens in the first place is that Clete and Popeye's revenge mission is so uncontrollable and grandiose, they want to get revenge on cocaine itself! And seeing as how we may have just built this solid, but small B-film up to heights it doesn't really reach, we should mention how clunky some of the acting by the non-leads is. Just check out the Harris mother.One of the more interesting things about No Safe Haven is the box art. It seems to be a specially posed picture in a studio by Wings. It wasn't taken right from the movie, it is its own photography. And the theme song of the film, played during the end credits is "dream girls", by none other than Isaac Hayes! That was a surprise. Too bad he wasn't in the movie as an actor.In all, No Safe (as all the cool people call it) is enjoyable because of the main presence of Wings Hauser, and to a lesser extent Robert Tessier and Branscombe Richmond. Without these guys, it would have been a different and more trying experience. Thank goodness for them.For more action insanity, please visit: www.comeuppancereviews.com

Wizard-8 I always like a good revenge movie, which is why I rented "No Safe Haven", to see some good revenge. Indeed, the parts of the movie where Wings Hauser is executing his revenge are pretty good, but for some strange reason a lot of the running time is devoted to him fooling around with women and other activities that don't portray him as constantly working on his revenge plans. Also, after setting up one of the villains as a *great* bad guy (Branscombe Richmond gives a real memorable performance), the movie then forgets about him, only bringing him back a long time later for just a few minutes before completely disposing of him. Still, the movie does partially make up for that by introducing Robert Tessier's character, who is a charismatic ally of Hauser. Is the movie worth seeing? Yes, but I would recommend you only watch it when you are in an undemanding mood and can't find anything better to watch.

merklekranz Wings Hauser and Robert Tessier provide plenty of action and Branscomb Richmond plays a memorable villain in "No Safe Haven", a revenge movie with lots to offer. You immediately know this is going to be a wild ride, when before the opening credits have rolled, you have guns blazing, cars and buses exploding, and naked babes. The sound track is very creative and adds to the excitement, along with several very humorous scenes. Everything about the film is high energy, and the movie gets real bloody, real fast. It's a treat to see Robert Tessier perfectly cast as an arms dealer, who obviously is proud of his work, and loves to demonstrate his products. There is nothing complicated about "No Safe Haven", it is simply a "B" action film that delivers the goods. - MERK
