I own this DVD. I have watched this movie countless times over the years. I can remember watching this film as it aired 'live' for the first time on TV. I immediately knew it would be a favorite of mine for years to come. Upon researching the actors in the film, I noticed an actor had not been mentioned. At least- I believe it to be this actor. I was wondering if anyone would confirm this. Towards the end of the film, when Gross's character and his girlfriend Vickie are in the restaurant, and Gross's character mentions it may be his last 'hit', his character grabs Vickie's arm. On the other side are patrons of the restaurant- one of whom I believe is Kevin Sorbo. Am I correct? There are no credits for him.

Super-charged TV movie concerning two Vietnam veterans (Soul and Gross) who embark on a ruthless and progressively more violent spate of armed robberies. As their heists become increasingly more murderous and brazen, the FBI's finest (principally portrayed by Cox, Sheehan and Greenwood) struggle to subdue the carnage. The cat and mouse game finally comes to a rousing climax when the fugitives are cornered in a car chase, and a bloody shootout ensues.Watching this intense, suspenseful and shocking feature, you easily forget its TV movie constraints; nothing is inhibited by the TV scale. Characters are well drawn and given appropriate depth, and the action sequences are realistic and well staged. Directory Lowry shows his adept handling of the content, conjuring a pair of the most ruthless, frightening villains ever conceived. Gross completely dispenses the shackles of his (at the time) amiable alter-ego from "Family Ties", as a cold-blooded misogynistic, religious zealot, while Soul is devastating in a dichotomous characterisation - warm and sociable with his family and friends, and a total psychopath in balaclava and fatigues. Daring casting against type that succeeds.Doug Sheehan is workmanlike in his performance as the central FBI guy, while Ronny Cox as the revered agent nearing retirement adds a significant prestige to the ranks. Bruce Greenwood's star has risen since this feature, and his portrayal of the young newcomer is played with conviction. Based on true events, director Lowry manages the pace for an outstanding climax of Sam Peckinpah proportions. Exceptional TV movie highly recommended for anyone remotely interested in the true crime genre.

This true story of a armed team of robber/murders hunted by law enforcement which resulted in the most deadly shootout in FBI history and the most studied armed incident after the Kennedy assassination was well told and intense .Michael Lee Platt and William Matix seemed to have split personalities that the chemistry of the two of them together ignited into explosions of violence and murder .Both ex-military , high combat proficency and they practiced their marksmanship regularly , making for a particularly dangerous duo .Platt in particular was amazing I wouldn't want to go up against him , he seemed to be a born assassin . Add to that their kamikaze attitude and their attempted capture was ripe for disaster .The FBI only adds to this with bad decisions on site , before and during , however their motives were as lofty as they come .They were trying to protect the public . One wishes they were able to make better choices because they were good men (Grogan and Dove )but the film is intense and worth seeing , all the more so because most of it is true .

I first saw this TV movies years ago, and was as intrigued as everybody else by the casting of David Soul and Michael Gross.Although I haven't seen it for some years, and didn't know the name, I felt compelled to hunt it down on IMDB to make a comment. As well as being outstanding in the action sequences, particularly the ultimate shootout, it was particularly notable for portraying the wrongdoers as unsentimental killers. These murders live with one years after having seen the movie. The makers achieve this not by lingering over the badness of the villains, but by showing them dispatching their victims lightly, unhesitatingly.Good, skillful movie.
