      delysid d freedom lover tommy lee takes over central park. what a dumb story. still tommy lee is great and it's a very rare film Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/06/22 Full Review bernie h Great movie, early movies like this during simpler times Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty awesome little action movie about a Vietnam vet taking over Central park in a bid to force people to remember and respect veterans. It's pretty impressive all around considering its TV origins. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review ashley h The Park is Mine is a decent t.v. film. It is about a Vietnam vet who takes forceful control of Central Park to remember those who served and died in the Vietnam War. Tommy Lee Jones and Helen Shaver give good performances. The teleplay is a little slow in places. Steven Hillard Stern did an alright job directing this t.v. movie. I liked t.v. story because of the action. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Tommy Lee Jones stars as a dispossessed Vietnam vet who inherits his buddy's plot to take over Central Park after his fatally ill buddy kills himself. He goes through with the plan with the intention of drawing attention to the plight of veterans and the common man in general. Helen Shaver plays a reporter who sneaks into the park and joins Jones to cover the story. The presence of Peter Dvorsky ("Videodrome") as a scummy, Deputy Mayor who essentially is the villain of the piece gives away the Canadian origins of this film. (It was made for HBO, but financed with Canadian money and shot in both New York and Toronto). Yaphet Kotto also stars as a reluctantly sympathetic cop. A pretty lightweight film buoyed by some pretty good performances by a good cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review shawn e A smaller and much weaker attempt at Rambo First Blood. Had an okay start but got lazy fast. This film could not be made today. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
