      Audience Member Interesting in several respects. This TV movie is a stealth pilot for a cop series that never got picked up starring Robert Forster and Don Johnson as LA cops. It looks like a promising show, and it's a shame that this movie is all we got. It also features one of the few pre-car accident performances from Mark Hamill. He plays a psychotic young man pursuing country singer Jimmy Dean and he's pretty good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Before becoming known as the nicest guy in the universe, Mark Hamill played a psychopath (yes, really) in this TV movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The description of this movie makes it sound really stupid, but it is actually a pretty good movie. A couple of intense scenes, Don Johnson is very young and pretty and Mark Hamill does an excellent performance of an angry, mentally unstable guy intent on revenge. And Jimmy Dean is just ~fabulous, as always. Good movie, hard to find though, I had to order it online from a business that publishes unreleased movies on DVD under public domain laws. But it was definately worth a couple of bucks! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member it was great seeing Mark Hamill playing a nutjob.
