hyped garbage
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
True life story with a smoking Michael Landon as a reporter living in Laos who smuggles out stories to the west regarding the vicious government of the country.When a general hires a lovely young maiden to spy on him, love blossoms between the two and the general (Jurgen Prochnow) becomes very jealous.Arresting Landon and banishing him from the country leads us to the remaining plot of the film: Landon tries to get his true love out of the country via the sea. The trouble is that our fair lady can't even swim.The film is a good one with good performances all around. The ending will certainly satisfy you.
I read John Everingham's story years ago in Reader's Digest, and I remember thinking what a great movie it would make. And it probably would have been had Michael Landon never got his hands on it. As far as I'm concerned, Landon was one of the worst actors on earth, and his artistic license went way over the top, similar to his massacre of the "Little House" book series is proof. The acting, for lack of a better word, is atrocious, the screenplay sloppy, and there are more close-ups of Landon's puss than should be allowed.This movie reflects Everingham's story as much as "Little House On The Prairie" reflects the books is was "based" on. It's just another vehicle to show off Landons horrendous hair.
Well made drama about journalist getting his girlfriend of of Laos by scubadiving in the Mekong River, the best scenes are the one featuring the swim of the river, running the gauntlet among wooden trunks and horse carcasses and triggerhappy border guards. Well worth seeing. 6/10
This is a 1983 movie but I just saw it last night. It's a movie based in a real life event: the story of a foreign journalist in Laos who is declared "non grata person" by the Communist regime. This is a beautiful story of love and courage. The main character is Michael Landon, one of my favorite actors. The movie is kind of slow but I enjoyed it.
