Best Action Movie of All Time

"This movie is full of action! What makes this movie so great is because not only is it full of action and special effects, but it has a plot that you find yourself believing. And, you will think you are actually there as you watch the movie. This film stars Richard Gere. It's one of those films no one has heard of, but it is outstanding. I was stunned at how good the movie actually was. It's about a teenager who stumbles on a mob execution in progress. From there, the action starts, and never stops. You'll be on the edge of your seat until the end of the movie.This even makes "The Sopranos" come alive in another plot with other players. This means you will love "The Sopranos" even more, and you will find a lot of their shows incorporated into this movie. Get this film! You won't be disappointed!"
1970s pilot for cop show that never was

"Transfer quality of ECHO BRIDGE (aka Platinum Disc) DVDs is good, although film stock is not always in the best of condition. A bargain price makes these lesser-known public domainers attractive.
STRIKE FORCE
Richard Gere's third film, some two years before his break out performance in LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR (1977) is this failed pilot for a French Connection-ish TV show. Lead Cliff Gorman is a NYC cop who teams with the Feds to battle a drug ring.
