rating: 5 Quote"Real Western. " "I'll put on a good show." kickin'!Quote
Western kickin'! If you like action with drama, you'll find the good stuff in this film. Rip Torn adds to the good action/drama. All actors "done good". He doesn't get too much credit, so I highlight his acting. April 5, 2008

Most would obviously compare "Extreme Prejudice" to the work of Sam Peckinpah. Anybody familiar with Walter Hill's output can detect his stamp on the finished product. It should also be noted that the original story idea came from the fertile libertarian mind of John Milius. Bottom line is the movie is a terrific stew of varied styles. The film may lack coherence at times but in the end it makes sense. It is eminently entertaining and engaging. Nick Nolte is the perfunctory star but this is really an ensemble effort. Hill has assembled a great rogues gallery of character actors and allows them to chew the scenery. Take note: Powers Booth(Hill's "Southern Comfort" and Milius' "Red Dawn"), Michael Ironside(TV's "V"), William Forsythe ("Raising Arizona", "Once Upon a Time in America"), Clancy Brown("Highlander" and "The Shawshank Redemption"), Rip Torn(too many films to mention) and not the least Tony "Tiny" Lister("The Fifth Element" and "Jackie Brown"). If you try to compare "Extreme Prejudice" to Peckinpah's work you're doing yourself a disservice. Just sit back and enjoy the fireworks. July 29, 2007

rating: 3 QuoteFull of great action scenes. Very poor picture quality.Quote
Even on DVD, the movie looks as blurry as an old VHS tape. This movie was great in the 80's. Compared to today's standard, it's still above average. It's worth renting not buying.

Nick Nolte and Power Boothe at their best, a powerful mindful and physical action movie leading to the core of emotions in 2 men's hearts, once friends, now bitter enemies, with the courage to face each other to define their destiny. March 12, 2007

I recently purchased a movie for my husband Extreme Predudice - This movie was made in the 80's. Sometimes it's difficult to find older movies and you have a very good selection. I would recommend your web site to
everyone I know. The shipping was extremely fast also.
Thank you for your help and stock of such a great movie - my husband has already watched it several times.
