Renegades 4K 1989

1989. That era marked the very dawn of action movies featuring tough guys who kick the bad guys’ butts. No, this movie didn’t have a typical muscle-bound cop hero like the ones played by others—like Stallone or Schwarzenegger (and I really loved those movies).

Instead, there’s a completely unusual duo: the undercover cop Buster (Kiefer Sutherland) and the Native American Hank (Lou Diamond Phillips). They’re pursuing almost the same goal—killing or capturing the villain, Robert Nepper, who’s practically destined to play scumbags. And while we’re at it, Kiefer Sutherland seems destined to play tough guys with guns and a growl—or psychopathic maniacs. The plot itself is ridiculously simple, and some of the characters’ actions and reactions are unimaginably strange.

But if you turn a blind eye to all its flaws, the movie is worth watching once. If only for the young Sutherland and Nepper.
