Review of Best Seller (1987) by Stephen C — 05 Jan 2011
Its easy to forget that the 80s turned out a lot of thrillers which snuck under the radar and are now fresher than a lot of the more celebrated films of the period.
This happens to be one of those thrillers and its should be better known as I fell it has a hell of a lot going for it most notably the chemistry between Wodds and Dennehy as rougue hit man and burnt out cop respectivley.
The plot is basically a revenge thriller with a twist as Woods offers Dennehy the chance to blow the lid off his corrupt ex boss by exposing his way of dealing with threats.
Woods is suitably scuzzy and again shows here just what a good actor he is in any role he is given.
Dennhey is Yang to Wods Ying and he tooo excells as a cop with writers block who cant resist the offer placed in front of him.
The action is taut and the film never outstays its welcome and is never boring in any shape or form .
Seek this out and grab a piece of this very very underated action movie with a very dark heart.
