The thriller element is alright, but the script is one of the most laughably bad I've heard in a while. Some of the lines are real clunkers.

The odd combination of a couple Americans (McCarthy and Bo Derek) and a Brit (Michael York) in the main roles and a cast of Spaniards is incredibly unrealistic. Hokey, but still, kind of fun.

The opening scene is full of gratuitous violence. It was so full of death I almost stopped watching, but some people may find that cool.

Andrew McCarthy looks thin and wizened. He really should pack on a few pounds. Bo Derek is surprisingly good considering she really isn't much of an actress.

"Crusader" is another good film from Bryan Goeres. He's 4 for 4 because of this, "Art Heist", "Face Of Terror", and "Phase IV".

The plot is about Hank Robinson (Andrew McCarthy) who is a reporter for a local news station in Spain. He inadvertently gets footage of a massacre at a powerful computer company. After that he is hired to be a top reporter for VisionTV run by Archie McGovern (Michael York). Hank gets assigned other stories by Nicola (Bo Derek) but the story that got him into the big time turns into a battle of deceit, double-crosses and murder.

Andrew McCarthy is great. Michael York puts in a fun performance. Bo Derek is okay.

In the end: There's a lot of action and suspense to definitely warrant a rental.

An interesting concept proved to be a waste of money. Unaware at the start, I then, almost immediately, spent almost an hour trying to fend off my knowledge that I was watching a live train crash. So I turned the dvd off with 45 mins to go, and happily watched one of the "all-great" episodes of Dad's Army. If I was in a cinema, I would have walked out. A respectable cast had my absolute sympathy and earned 2 stars for the movie as they valiantly took turns unsuccessfully performing CPR on the film.
