Review of Who'll Stop the Rain (1978) by Robert P — 13 Oct 2007
Nick Nolte in perhaps his best performance ever, as an ex-Marine and Vietnam veteran turned merchant seaman, caught in the middle of a large drug deal gone very bad. Nolte and Michael Moriarity's performances ring true; as former soldiers down on their luck try for one last, big score.
A rough, in-your-face story about courage, friendship, greed, honour, and redemption. Nolte's world weary character sums up the feel of the movie in one statement.."I promised myself after I got out of the [U.
S. Marine] Corps that no asshole would ever tell me what to do again." Awesome soundtrack by Creedance Clearwater Revival. One of my all-time favourites.
