Summary: One of Arnies worser movies
Review: A simple plot about an ex-FBI officer forced by an old friend to infiltrate a Mob who murdered his son.Definitley not Arnie's best but it does have the odd good scene where his driving a convertable and shooting people at the same time while listening to the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" but it was really corny how his car was riddled with bullets and didn't even get a flesh wound and of course he shot everyone.There wasn't many beautiful women in it and I think I prefer the shootout scene at the end of "Commando" to this.But I think he played his character reasonably well.

Summary: Early Ah-nold yarn worth checking out
Review: After finding sucess with Conan the Barbarian and the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in this half decent action yarn playing a disgraced FBI Agent called back into duty to go undercover to track a mob boss. The script, directing, action, and so forth are pretty routine for an 80's action movie, but good 'ol Arnold's magnetic charm keeps Raw Deal rolling even when it seems it's about to fall apart. The cast also includes longtime Law & Order vet Steven Hill, and most of the rest of the cast is pretty forgettable. Still worth checking out though for Arnold afficiondos who missed out on it.

Summary: poor service
Review: amazon has got to be one of the slowest to get things delivered. i ordered this movie on the 11th of aug, and now they say they will be shipping it out on the 26th of aug. now if this item is out of stock they should at least let people know before they purchase any item. it may be a small thing to most but this just bites.i may start shopping at barnes and noble.com from now on.

Summary: Pure Immortal!
Review: Arnold Schwarzenegger scores again with this under-rated action movie. Although, there are no other famous names in this film, Arnold carries it from start to finish. Intellect! Arnold is an F.B.I. agent that goes undercover as a mafia individual. This picture shows Arnold's true acting ability and he goes into the hideout at the end and obliterates his enemies. Annihilation! From the opening credits where Arnold Schwarzenegger is driving in the jeep chasing some clown. Splendid! Then Arnold combs his hair back and doesn't take any garbage from the mafia. How valiant! Arnold Schwarzenegger is truly my hero after I watched this bold action picture. The director was really thinking hard on this one and later on, made the epic "City of Industry".

Summary: super
Review: As the Chicago Mafia attempts to murder witnesses who could incriminate them in court, Mark Kaminsky, a former FBI agent (Arnold Schwarzenegger), attempts to infiltrate the organization and root out the assassins. It's time for dues to be paid ... "Ah-nuld" style! Kathryn Harrold, Ed Lauter, Darren McGavin and Sam Wanamaker co-star.

Summary: BAD DEAL...
Review: Do you wonder why this movie is being sold by 5.99 only? Because it's a bad deal. THe film is absurd, weak. I guess even Arnold doesn't remember it!

Summary: This movie is amazing!!
Review: I have to say as an avid movie watcher this movie is incredible. First off Arnold is god among men. His accent only adds to his wonderful acting. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys watching movies of high calibur. The action kept me on the edge of my seat, Arnold can whip any villain out there. This movie is one of the best ever hands down. God Bless Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Summary: Very early Arnie movie, noise,shooting, etc...
Review: I was living in N. C. when this movie was shot. On a dare, I signed up for an extra spot. The off screen antics were much better than the on screen stuff. Somebody loaded Arnies cigar with a cigarette load, and ruined about 2 hours film time. Movie( 1- 10 ) = 4. Arnies temper with the blow up = 15. Watch behind Arnie in the casino when he says " Tell him I'm the pain in Lemanskis' ass!" I'm the big guy, stage right.

Summary: So ridiculously awful - I loved it!
Review: IF you really want to have a good laugh, I cannot recommend this movie enough! In this all time epic, Arnie (who's wife's pissed off at him for making her move out to the sticks), under the supervision of his former FBI mentor fakes his own death in order to infilitrate the most notorious sectors of Chicago's La Cosa Nostra. Well, simple enough you may say. The only problem is that the DA is on the payroll of Luigi Petrovita, the boss of all bosses. As a raging mob war erupts between Petrovita and a Jewish gangster, Lamanski, Arnie takes the initiative to strike while the iron's hot! And indeed it is! The only stipulation is that he may just have to take the law into his own hands - a true novelty for a Swartzenegger flick don't you think? This is humor at its best, Arnie's accent at its worst and acting so diabolically bad, it truly leaves one wondering... "was it a spoof?".

Summary: "Resign or be prosecuted...".
Review: In a time when the man with the biggest machine gun ruled the box office, Arnold Schwarzenegger was an unquestionable heavyweight amongst action stars. Following his success with the Conan films and "The Terminator", Ah-nuld signed on to do this crime thriller with director John Irvin. This one isn't one of his more well-known titles but is still "too cool for school". Not exactly one of the smartest action films ever released, what "Deal" lacks in brains, it makes up for in bullets. Schwarzenegger is Mark Kaminsky, a former FBI big shot who is exiled to the role of local sheriff in a quiet Southern town. When an old friend's son is murdered by Mafia goons, Mark is called in to take down the bad guys in typical Schwarzenegger fashion. Faking his own death and re-emerging in Chicago under the assumed identity of an ex-con, Kaminsky infiltrates the mob organization and takes them down with an arsenal of awesome firepower. From taking down a mob foe in a car chase to driving a confiscated cement truck through an underground casino, Arnold gets to have plenty of fun while kicking his usual butt. "Raw Deal" is a little bit longer than it should be and is overly talky at times but there are some solid moments to be had here. Any movie that has Arnold blasting his way through a gravel pit to the sounds of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" can't be all bad. The musical score was one of my favorites at the time that I saw it and the supporting cast including Darren McGavin, Paul Shenar, Robert Davi, and Ed Lauter are all exceptionally talented and equally underrated. While far from a box office hit or even one of his most noteworthy flicks, "Raw Deal" is a bad-ass little movie that is actually very underrated in my opinion. It's never gonna get the kind of love as Arnie blockbusters like "The Terminator" and "Predator" but it's still worth the price of admission for any true action fan looking for some bullet-riddled fun on a Saturday night. Anyone looking to buy on VHS, may want to avoid the full-screen Video Treasures release as some copies contain the TV edit.
