Product Description

Amazon.ca

James Belushi is a former gangster in the Federal Witness Protection Program, hiding in the small redneck town of Harmony. Skipper, the mysterious mob boss Belushi worked for, discovers his whereabouts and sends four thugs to collect the $12 million Belushi had been stealing from him, and then whack him. Cross and double-cross ensues, as the fast-talking, street-smart Belushi cons his way from one harrowing bind to another. Throw into the mix a crooked redneck sheriff (Timothy Dalton) and the Belushi character's wife with questionable loyalties (Vanessa Angel), and you've got a fast-paced action comedy that keeps you guessing up to the end. The acting is solid, including Jamie Harris (son of Richard) as a British mobster with a knack for torture. One of the least appreciated components of film storytelling is pace, and Made Men has an impeccable knack for pacing. Kudos to director Louis Morneau (Bats) and veteran action film producers Joel Silver and Richard Donner for making this gem, which should have seen the dark light of the theater instead of being shuffled off direct to video. James Belushi deserves mention for a terrific performance, at once serious, convincing, and funny. --Jim Gay

3.0 out of 5 stars "The Mod Squad meets Deliverance" Jun 7 2002
By GLENN WHELAN
Format:DVD
You probably didn't catch this hit and miss action film in theatres as it took the direct-to-video route. That is a bit surprising, because it is at least as good as much of the action fodder that seems to crowd the multiplex. But, now you can experience it on DVD with a nice anamorphic widescreen transfer and great sound editing.

The film involves twelve million dollars and a big mouth in the witness protection program who stole it. There are corrupt cops, trustworthy criminals and untrustworthy spouses. To go into it more would be to rob the film of its strongest element, Screenwriter Robert Franke's clever story twists. Aside from that and some nice photography, the film comes across as derivative and unsatisfying. Jim Belushi is not likable enough for the viewers to want him to succeed and Timothy Dalton (with a wincing Southern accent) belongs in the major miscasting hall of fame. And often story points are dropped when it seemed convenient.

But, Made Men is at its heart an action film. Even so, the action is small and intimate (What else would you expect in an extreme backwoods town). MADE MEN doesn't have the wow of other Joel Silver and Richard Donner produced films, but is at times sufficient.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action, double-crossings, and $12 million bucks! July 1 2001
By "time-traveller"
Format:DVD
Well, it is defintely action packed! To add to it, Vanessa Angel is always a sight to see and Belushi (just as Will Smith) has to put some of his comical wit throughout the flick! After being placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program, Belushi starts making plans with wifey Angel and some stolen bucks($12 mill) until the feds, the cops, the mob and some backwoods buddies start coming after him. Good lazy Sunday (early) afternoon flick to watch before a baseball or football game
