One of the most underrated films of the 80s. Great performances, with a standout from John Heard. One of his earliest performances, and it's considered his best. He is so entrenched in his character and gives one the greatest portrayals of a veteran of war. Like me, if you have only seen him as the Dad in Home Alone you will be surprised by his performance and how good it is. A great movie, and worth watching for Heard's performance alone. 2 years 7 months ago -

John Heard (Alex Cutter)
"And last, but certainly least is Rastus, the court nigger. (laughs to himself as the other white people around him sit in stunned silence) What? Do I detect some tension? Oh. Come now gentlemen. It's a simple matter of semantics. What are we white well-intentioned liberals supposed to call you cats these days, huh? Blacks? Coloreds? Negroes? Darkies? (laughs to himself again) Jeez, I don't know. What would you call 'em Rich?"
Jeff Bridges (Richard Bone)
"I'd call 'em 'Sir' if I were you."
Thank you Jeff Bridges for building the 'bridges' of equality and beginning to eliminate race and color as an issue.
And one more thing:
'Lieutenant Dan Alex Cutter-you ain't got no legs!' 7 years 8 months ago
