Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Movie
Once again, Sam Elliott shows the world what a great actor he is! This movie is truly worth watching.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - JUMPS THE SHARK BIG TIME
I had hopes for this one. I thought it would be a surprisingly good movie like Road House. At the scene that takes place at the New Amsterdam Theater, this thing goes way wrong and way hokey. It's a waste of Sam Elliot. You think it's going to be a crusader guy movie but it turns into a preposterous shoot'em up with Sam Elliot swinging from a lamp post shooting with a Glock in one hand. It would have been OK that all of the characters are weak stereotypes, but the stupid gun fights and unbelievable car chases ruin this movie. Lazy writers are the downfall of many movies. It's so bad that it's NOT good. I've heard better dialogue between two teen aged girls on their cell phones. I couldn't make it to the end of this worthless, dumbed-down piece of idiocy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Shakedown is underrated action
I saw this one when it came out and i finally got my hands on the DVD.It is a underrated action hit with Peter Weller and Sam Elliot as well as some great scenes and stunts.Highly recommended.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I gave it an extra star for the casting.
Two of my favorite actors, Peter Weller and Sam Elliott, in the same movie it should be great, right? Wrong. Unfortunately the whole is less than the sum of the parts. Not that it's a bad movie. Decent action and a good story, but then some odd quirks, the most egregious of which was the ending when a crane lifts the car over a barrier and ... well, I don't want to ruin the plot, but the ending is almost cartoon-like in sharp contrast to the gritty realism of most of the rest of the movie.
Weller and Elliott do the best they can with the script and direction, and what you have is a half-way decent Saturday afternoon actioner and not much else.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Get the NEW DVD release!
The new version of the DVD is a ton better then the horrid Goodtimes release. The disc is in Anamorphic Widescreen and the sound quality is really decent. No real extras except a trailer. Not a Blockbuster film but still decent. Hope this helps.
