Product Description
From Amazon.com
At the height of his financial troubles, Burt Reynolds took just about any acting job that came along. Some were critically acclaimed projects like Boogie Nights. And some were like Raven. Burt is the title character, the leader of a special ops team who discovers the decoder he was sent to recover is slated to be sold to U.S. enemies, for the personal enrichment of some top CIA officials. He decides to sell the decoder himself while killing the men who betrayed him, but his former brother-in-arms sets out to stop him. Burt's smart: if you're going to do a low-budget, cookie-cutter, action flick like this, play the villain. It's a whole lot more fun. Even so, he seems to be holding back. He did five films in 1997, the year Raven came out, so maybe he was just tired, but the trademark boyish grin lacks its usual gleam. Director Russell Solberg is a stuntman who's worked on such films as Tombstone and Die Hard, so at least the action scenes are pretty good. --Geof Miller

Why was this film necessary?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Raven (DVD)
This is one of those movies that turned up on cable and I couldn't help but watch simply to make fun of. A terrible, predictable, poorly acted, horribly scripted carton of eggs dropped on the floor excuse for a film.Yes, I can accept it's in the action genre - typically many are challenged - but this used every cliche possible at least twice and was completely uninteresting the whole way through. Yes, there's a handsome male lead who happens to have a gorgeous girlfriend despite the fact that he has a horrible job... and yes, he is an ex-solider trying to hide his past. Yes, they have perfect sex (you know... slow, showing only breast, both looking DEEPLY into each other's eyes... pheh!) Yes, his morally bankrupt former commander comes out of the woodwork (despite being thought dead, oo!) and makes him face his past. I don't want to give anymore of this less-than-thrilling plot away lest you have any inkling to watch it... but try to find a copy of Boondock Saints (from Canada) or get I Come In Peace with Dolph Lundgren and Brian Benben... they at least have a sense of humor.

Krista Allen is beyond great in this film!!! Her acting is the best I've seen, and she's gorgeous to boot. What a talent!! It's worth watching it just to see this up-and-coming actress!!!!
