Member Movie Reviews K. K. (GAMER) Reviewed on 4/21/2024... Took a bit to get going since the beginning was a bit rough. The ending was pretty entertaining and action packed!
Movie ReviewsGood thriller, lousy DVD. Birthe Jrgensen | Odense, Denmark | 10/01/2000 (2 out of 5 stars) "Bravo MGM; you've managed yet again to screw up a great movie with a terrible DVD. -It's actually an ORION picture, and I'd hoped that they would've cared more about its appearance, but no such luck. Of my 100+ DVDs, this is one of the worst looking with dull colors and a fuzzy image. (Let's hope they're more careful with their upcoming Woody Allen ORION collection.) This is a rather oldfashioned straight-ahead action suspenser like they just don't make them anymore in Hollywood, but it's difficult to be thrilled about that when you know you can enjoy a much sharper version on TV. Hackman, Heard, Cassidy and Jones lead a good cast, but in order to see them clearly we desperately need a remastering of this otherwise wonderful movie. Until then, avoid like the plague." A great political espionage film Eric Finkelstein | 07/09/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Package is one of the best films about the end of the Cold War. The plot was interesting and easy to follow. The characters were impressive. I don't think that this was a weak or depressing film at all." Skip it L Gontzes | Athens, Greece | 07/07/2008 (2 out of 5 stars) "The Package was quite a disappointment considering the presence of Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones among others.
A U.S. sergeant witnesses the assassination of a high ranking American military officer during peace talks held in Germany between Washington and Moscow. Shortly after the incident he receives orders to return home accompanying a prisoner. Things quickly become more complicated when `the package' makes a run for it... In short, the acting is all right (though nothing great), while the plot and the dialogues are average and below average respectively. The movie does bring to mind The Fugitive, though this film does not really provide as much entertainment. Though the potential for a good movie was definitely there it fails to take off, primarily due to the writers and the poor choice of lines and weak plot. In a nutshell, it's a mediocre movie and that's about it; no masterpiece here... 2.2 Stars " |
