Review of Turk 182

Turk 182 (1985)
9/10
A feel good flick that might have a plot hole or two, but makes up for it with plenty of heart.

I saw this film back in the 80's and thought it was a light hearted, man against the world charmer. I still, after all these years stand behind that statement, and more importantly, sentiment. I recently looked to buy this film digitally, but can't find it, at least digitally. So I'll buy it on dvd till then. Having said this I'm writing this review impart due to some negativity I found while looking for this film. It seem many reviews about this film focuses on the plot holes, as to how Turk 182 can accomplish all his feats of daring do. Really!? If you can't except a brothers attempting to right a wrong for his brother the only family he has than don't but this film, and turn your heart in on your way out the door. Timothy Hutton, Kim Cattrell & Robert Urich have wonderful chemistry and a palpable empathy that helps the audience bond with them instantly. If your a fan of Frank Capra and his man again world movies you'll love this film. To paraphrase "it's all about the characters stupid " don't get hung up on the hows just enjoy The Who's.
