Let's Get Harry Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
fjcamper I was Robert Duvall's character coach or model in Harry. He attended my training camp in Alabama in September 1985 before going on down to Vera Cruz Mexico for the location filming.The major problem with the film was the director(s) and the editing. The actual script wasn't bad. One director quit, and the finishing director cut so much from the film that Duvall tried to keep it from being released, and the director ended up having his own name removed from the film and "Alan Smithee" (a name used to protect the guilty) credited as director.Virtually all of the training scenes were cut where the plumbers become commandos, and the character development went with it.Duvall wanted to make a good movie. The script called for his character to give a dying speech after getting shot. When he and I went over the scene, I told him after getting hit the way he was supposed to, he wouldn't be able to say anything. He played it that way.When I finally saw the film, I was surprised to discover that not only had Duvall followed my advice on how to dress, etc., but that he had adopted my own personal mannerisms and way of talking. He never said anything about doing that.I was disappointed in the final release, even more than most viewers. I know what's missing.Frank Camper
lmcm87 this is just another movie about the evil Colombian guerrillas and the brave American heroes. bloody as it can be the movie only portraits the "bad" part of a beautiful country. I don't think it is well done as a movie or that it shows in anyway the reality of a country like Colombia which, constantly improves and shows to be winning the fight against terrorism and drug dealers. I also find it extremely utopic and epic, yet it is your choice to watch it or not. The whole movie revolves around friendship, but it shows a lot more than that. Just know that Hollywood is not showing the reality of those third world countries and that those kind of movies offend many people around the world.
mm-39 Spoilers!!! HBO sometimes comes out with great films, and this is one of them. 4.8 and that guy's hateful comments towards this movie I totally disagree with. Rent this film, the people who review it give it a bum rap. I was watching it, with my sister's boyfriend Blake. He yelled get the American flag out, and a bunch of other hysterics. I ignored it, I thought that other countries besides the states also have their social problems, which results in Harry's capture. The part Blake did not get is this film has little to do countries, but communities, families, and brothers. Actually, no one in the government was going to save Harry and he was going to die, and Harry's brother, community and friends did something about it. Gary Busey plays a good role as the financier, too bad he ruined a good career. Robert Duvel, plays the dirty, but fair mercenary. Some can do it others make mistakes, we learn about each character's faults; The scene where everyone in this proud mid western town at work hear that one of their own is rescued, and the party they throw touches my heart. Especially when he understands why the family guy tried, and could not do the mission. I believe in family and community, and that is what this movie is about. 8/10
John Seal Yes, it's a real Alan Smithee film, and it's pretty obvious why Stuart Rosenberg did not want to be associated with this dud. Basically an opportunity for pure hearted Young White Americans to pound the bejesus out of filthy Brown Skinned Drug Dealers, this Reaganesque paean to Manifest Destiny is boring and offensive. Avoid at all costs, unless you're a member of Aryan Nation.
