Good film noir type, which I love. John Travolta is always exciting & him playing a PI is a treat. Nice to see his pretty daughter in the movie. The scenery and 70s cars are beautiful. Parts were filmed in Savannah. Grabbed my attention- interesting plot & characters kept me involved. . Very entertaining- has some humor. I enjoyed its low key atmosphere. So far I've watched it twice on Amazon Prime.

The Return
(1980)
UFOs, Romance, Action & Psychedelic Special Effects
30 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Cybil & Jan-Michael are great in this weirdly fun movie. Cybil is gorgeous & sassy; Jan-Michael is sexy & cool. They had good chemistry together. I enjoyed watching their attraction grow into a romantic liaison. Jan-Michael was good in the action scenes. Supposed to take place near Alamogordo NM but was actually filmed in CA. The NM location makes a connection to the Roswell incident. Had just enough UFO/unexplained activity going on to hold my attention. Parts of it are corny but Raymond Burr adds some authority to help it along. I like 50s style movies & this reminded me of that era only with psychedelic special effects. Is free on Amazon Prime.

Exciting Movie with Great Characters & Plot Twists!
22 February 2014
Love this movie. Reminds me of the film noir type. Heist movie with beautiful NYC scenes, action, humor and a nice twist at the end. Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Ed Burns and Anthony Mackie do a fantastic job of building tension between the main characters. The dialog is quick & moves the plot along. The action sequences are thrilling without any blood or guts. It's an excellent film to watch, not jerky camera like so many movies today.
There's some wonderful aerial shots of Madison Avenue, cars, people and buildings. The Roosevelt Hotel is also gorgeous and makes for a beautiful locale. Since it's not on Netflix I bought the Blu-Ray edition at Walmart for $7 which is well worth it.
