Buster is a small time crook who pulls a big time job. When he finds that the police will not let the case drop, he goes into hiding and can't contact his wife and child. He arranges to meet them in Mexico where he thinks they can begin again, but finds that he must choose between his family and freedom. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>
Besides being a brilliant musician, Phil Collins is also a great actor. That fact is well-proven in 'BUSTER'. He plays a nice guy with a heart of gold who is on the run from the law after participating in one of the biggest train robberies in history. The movie has got a suspenseful and emotional feel to it, a great musical score by Anne Dudley (with pop tunes by Phil Collins and The Four Tops), and one of the happiest endings I've ever seen. 'BUSTER' gets my highest ratings. If you stumble across it, check it out! You won't regret it.
