Summary: A great " rainy day" movie
Review: O.K. so its no "On golden pond", BUT, this movie has all the requirements for alternative viewing. Nothing on the movie channels ? Is it 2:35 a.m. and the info mercials are killing you?
Need someting in the background while doing your needlepoint or cleaning your firearms? This is the movie for you ! The same kind of...charm...that makes "Jake Speed" work is in abundance
in wanted.Its pace is quick,No pulp fiction,but still it works.
Hauer does a great job and Simmons is,to say the least, surprisingly good at his role.
Good action,Strong performances mixed with the 80's era Rambo
mentality towards justice and internatonal relations combine to make this an excellent choice for those times when looking for a
different cinematic experience.

Summary: What about the bonus Rutger?
Review: Bounty hunter Nick Randall (Rutger) is alleged great-grand son of famous TV bounty hunter Josh Randall (played successfully
by Steve McQueen back in the 50's). Rutger may not be a
psycho (The Hitcher-'86), a space con (Blade runner-'82) or
a blind white Samurai (Blind Fury-'90) but no problemo!
Gene (I was the masked bass player of KISS) Simmons takes
over. After the absurd hermaphrodite creature he featured in a John Stamos movie (Never too young to die-'86), this is
trully brilliant casting (though not very politically correct,
I mean him being a Jew and meanwhile portaying an Arab
terrorist in this movie). If you're a fan of action movies you have already seen this one. If you're not, hey, let me tell
you this: The end scene with the grenade stuffed in Gene's
mouth is one of World Cinema's all time classic scenes and it
makes this movie a must-see just to hear Rutger say his
famous BONUS line.....!

Summary: Greatest Ending of All Time
Review: Decent Film. Great acting by Hauer and Simmons. Absolutely fantastic ending (involving a certain grenade) that's worth the price of admission.
Rating:
Summary: Gene Simmons should be in more movies
Review: If you have only seen Gene in the borderline comedy "Runaway", see this film. He oozes evil as an Arab terrorist. The film is worth it just to see his performance.If you want high drama, though, look somewhere else ;-)

Summary: Wanted Dead or Alive is a 80's action classic.
Review: If you want to see action and the way terrorists should be treated watch this DVD.

Summary: Wanted Dead Or Alive
Review: Like Black Sunday this is a taboo film (9/11) for today's American public. Terrorists causing havock on home soil, is not want certain people want to see at the cinema.
However this is a great low key action film for it's time, the violence is still very graphic. Rutger Hauer was great in the 1980s, before he discovered Burger King! As well as The Hitcher (which was released around the same time) he really had a presence.
The kiss frontman is a very convincing terrorist, he really looks like an arab. The CIA subplot makes this even more watchable. But anyone who has seen this film will remember the ending! Check it out, miles ahead of Collateral Damage.

Summary: Double Hauer Power
Review: Rutger Hauer is great in both of these movies. In Deadlock, he plays a diamond thief who gets betrayed by his fiance, which lands him in a prison where the prisoners are the guards. Prisoners wear an exploding necklace that is linked to another prisoner. Go outside the 100 yard limit and BOOM!!
In Wanted Dead Or Alive, Rutger Hauer plays a bounty hunter who is seeking a terrorist played by Gene Simmons of KISS.
Wanted Dead Or Alive is a fast action filled movie with a lot of surprises.
Rating:
Summary: A cracking little film
Review: Rutger Hauer is the guy who knows how to make entertaining action flicks,as this hugely enjoyable action escapade proves.The plotline is similar to the equally enjoyable Chuck Norris action film Invasion USA,and both films have high entertainment value.See.

Summary: A Fast-Paced Thriller
Review: Rutger Hauer stars as Nick Randall, a former CIA man turned bounty hunter. He's a steely nerved, icy professional who rounds up the scum of society for very high prices. But now, Randall finds himself as bait in a tug of war between the CIA, FBI, and LAPD. Once the hunter, Randall has become the target of international terrorist Malak Al Rahim, played by Gene Simmons of the rock group KISS. What once was a job for Randall has become a mission; get Al Rahim at all costs! The action in this movie is well done. Simmons does an excellent job as Al Rahim, and the pace is fast. The special effects are dazzling, and Rutger Hauer has some good one-liners along the way. If you're a fan of good action and shoot 'em up movies, then this movie should be included.
