Description

Uneasy Allies Track Down an Escaped Killer OSCAR(r) nominees Burt Reynolds (Boogie Nights) and Bruce Dern (Coming Home) star in a tense Western about the uneasy alliance between a convict and a Territorial Marshal. Billy Bucklin (David Figlioli) busts out en route to Yuma Prison, so Marshal Hutchinson (Dern) has his brother-in-law, John McKay (Reynolds), released to help bring him down. Hutch offers a possible pardon for the killing McKay claims was in self-defense, and also reveals that his deputy, John's son Joshua (Seth Peterson), is tracking the dangerous man. Elizabeth Kennedy (Amy Jo Johnson) is saved from Bucklin's henchmen after her family is massacred, and doggedly joins the three searchers as they try to get him-dead or alive.

2 out of 5 stars Great actors in a made-for-TV mediocrity.......2005-08-13

First, I love Bruce Dern and Burt Reynolds. I could watch them just sit around and talk, and in fact those scenes are the best part of the movie. Hard Ground is a very predictable western with very predictable special effects (how many dynamite blow-ups in slow motion with people flying have you seen lately?)

The young female survivor of a stage coach massacre has got "sand" and alternates between being feisty and vulnerable on a very predictable basis. The estranged son of Burt is also heroic but oversleeps on the trail of the bad guys. The two veterans and the two young people pull together in the end to a very predictable climactic shoot-em-up with a very predictable outcome. Have I said this movie is totally formulaic and predictable?

Nevertheless, Burt and Bruce are always worth the price of admission, so I'd watch it, but not expect too many surprises. Hopefully next time the producers will actually hire writers who can develop characters and throw a few surprises in to spice up the movie.

Another good movie of Bruce Dern as Marshal Hutchinson still crafty as he was in the movie "Hang Them High" and that was 30 yr's ago and still he looks good and very impressive.Burt and Bruce has such a good understanding that it seems both injoyed making this movie.Burt Reynolds as John McKay who was being transfered to Yuma Prison along with David Figlioli as Billy Bucklin as the chief villian and rest of the hardend criminal's in a prison van and they breakout leaving Burt Reynolds to die in the desert without water or horse. Thats where the story starts.The Outdoor Photography is really beautiful.The sunset in the mountains is breath taking.Marshal's sister married john McKay and had a son named joshua (Seth Peterson)who was broughtup by the marshal and he becomes his deputy and a decent citizen.Joshua rescue's a Elizabeth Kennedy (Amy Jo Johnson) on the way following the tracks of escapies.Its a deadly game of Manhunt,Story is Written by a famous writer Frank Q Dobbs (Johnson County War, Streets of Laredo)It was also directed by him. I liked this movie as any other good old western.

        5 out of 5 stars Did somebody say best movies ever?.......2004-05-11

        Yes, these are the greatest movies ever. Even better than "Sniper 2". Steven Seagal is out for revenge and it is wonderful. Once again he brings a lot of energy to the screen with his whispering and shooting. He always fights for a the little man. In "On Deadly Ground" he fights for the native Indians of Alaska and goes on an exciting spiritual journey. "Under Siege" obviously was unjustly refused nomination for Academy Awards. This is a must own for all movie fans. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

        4 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2002-12-08

        These are his best movies before he got stuipd.

        2 out of 5 stars He's got to be kidding.......2002-12-06

        Guess he needs the money. He's sort of the male version of Ana Nicole Smith, much more attention than his actions and decisions have deserved. Fact is though, some of his movies have been pretty good. If your a Segal fan I pity you, but you'd probably enjoy these. If you are Steven Segal - work with people making successful films, stop trying to push your own agenda!
