"How can you go wrong with Francis FOrd Coppola in the director's chair? He always gives us interesting stuff. As is the case here in TETRO, about Benni, who travels to Buenos Aires to find his long-missing older brother. I only wish that it got more publicity. " [More]

"Director John McTiernan handles the action sequences perfectly in this action movie from the 80s. He not only does that well, but also develops the characters as the movie progresses. The exceptional screenplay written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, about a cop who gets caught in the middle of some ruthless criminals taking everyone in an office building hostage, gives the director some good stuff to work with. This was a great role fro Bruce Willis. " [More]

The movie is expertly and passionately directed by writer and director, Nat Christian. He knows and feels his material and entertainingly takes us along on his journey. Actress Kim Oja is superb as "Katherine." She is a very fine actress and has a beautiful screen appeal. Christian has a masculine sex appeal coupled with a dry sense of humor.

Same is true about Taylor Negron, another pleasant surprise in the movie. It was with great joy to watch Joan Van Ark. She is sincere and effective. And Ed Asner is always very, very good. The fabulous musical score is by Rossano Galante. And there is a song writt ... " [More]
