A Father's Revenge (1988) Reviews

Member Rating:

Made for television, A Father's Revenge stars Brian Dennehy as a high school basketball coach. When terrorists pull off a political kidnapping in West Germany, Dennehy's stewardess wife Joanna Cassidy is among the hostages. Fed up with the apparent foot-dragging of the authorities, Dennehy takes personal action in effecting Joanna's rescue. He hires Ron Silver's band of mercenaries, then heads to Germany to bring back his wife himself. Credibility is stretched to the limit at times, but the three stars are at their peak. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The 1st thing wrong here is blockbusters blunder about Dennehy's wife being kidnapped. It was his Daughter not his wife ( just to clarify) This was a made for TV movie and not a very good one. I am a BIG Brian Dennehy fan but this one was not up to par for him. He appeared to be going through the motions at best. I was pretty disapointed. do yourself a favor and pass on this one.
