Shakedown (1988)

Member Rating:

In this complicated crime drama, Roland Dalton (Peter Weller) is an attorney who must defend a drug dealer who claims he killed in self defense. His worthy opponent is his former flame Susan Cantrell (Patricia Charbonneau), now an effective career-minded prosecuting attorney. Richie Marks (Sam Elliott) is the detective who anticipates that legal prosecution will finally close the book on this case. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

HEY EVERYONE, if your wanting to watch a pretty good flick with Peter Weller and Sam Elliot I would give you all a very stong 5 stars for this one. The only Problem thats going to take place is B Buster Online has got one title listed and they continually keep sending some off the wall BS. story thats not even worth watching have tried to get the real deal for 4 attempts now and just givein it up for a lost cause. To continually check the quality of their movies they seem to be feeding us all a BIG LINE OF HORSE DUNG. To check the quality of a movie you are goign to have to put the things into a player to test it out ant way. Have been co owner of Video store for some 14 years and every time one of them come back as unplayable I personally insert it to the palyer and check it out for any problems. this is after pulling a 12 hour rental day with totals as much as $2500.00 cash and checks single handedly. SNET SNOT FLIX SUCKS ALSO..
