5.0 out of 5 stars Well Paced, July 10 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Forgotten (VHS Tape)
Like the movie's namesakes, this film has been forgotten, but should be reviewed and maybe the price will come down before some flaky remake by the likes of George Clooney is released.

The Forgotten (1989) is a well paced and interesting story of an American SpecOps team of POWs finally being released after 17 years in captivity, following very secret negotiations between Hanoi and Washington. But there's more. It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, inside a riddle. The team of POWs is not scheduled to return home to bands and parades, but rather they are moved cladestinely to a castle in Germany for extensive interrogation about their previous mission to Hanoi.

The pieces of why they are incarcerated and why the mission is still being kept under wraps unfolds slowly, but believably. As deaths occur, the team members begin to realize that their only option for survival is to escape American custody and find their own answers.

The actors involved, Keith Carradine, Michael Champion, Stacy Keach, Steve Railsback, Richard Lawson, William Lucking, Tzi Ma, Don Opper, and Pepe Serna, do an excellent and believable job of highly trained SpecOps soldiers who have been POWs for many years, with the inherent problems such incarceration and torture would bring about.

As a Viet Nam veteran, I can see the feasability of this storyline. Were the team's original mission to become public, the political repercussions would put the lives of the team survivors in jeopardy - not from the Vietnamese, but from the American leaders who left them to rot in a prison camp.

An excellent movie. Viet vets will appreciate the underlying story, but it's also a political mystery in the realm of the original Manchurian Candidate that is well worth seeing by all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action, supense, Jan 15 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Forgotten (VHS Tape)
This film is typical of the usual action dramas but is a cut above most because of the acting of the main characters. Yes, the theme is a bit far-fetcher, perhaps, but it is a good romp and keeps you intersted right up to the rather ambiguous ending. Performances by Keith Carradine and Steve Railsback are excellent, but I have a prejudice as a Railsback fan. Stacy Keach is a great villain, you love to hate him. Some scenes of torture are graphic but fleeting and are necessary to background. Not for the kids.
