- Hey, Navy! Prologue
Once, in the distant now of 96-97, as a teenager, I went to visit my cousin. He, in turn, rented from his uncle ' Vidik' Funai. There were several videotapes on the table. After a short chat, I stared at the TV screen on which the screening of the Hollywood & #39 film began. I really liked the movie. It was an adventure comedy with (oh my God!) a rousing sex scene. The film, unfortunately, I could not watch until the very end, so urgently I had to go home, but it is firmly embedded in my memory and with the advent of the DVD, I bought a copy, looking it up and down. As you already understand, we are talking about 'Convoys'
Now it is time to review this picture. . .
This film is ' Flesh of the Flesh' a real Hollywood movie production of the 90s. There is almost everything here - interesting adventures, witty jokes, a little ' action', a beautiful heroine with an erotic scene with her and a logical, positive finale of the film.
Let’s take a look at the main characters:
Tom Berenger plays a stern old-timer father who has a negative attitude to the humor of the younger generation. He is verbose, follows instructions, loves unquestioning execution of his orders. It’s very good for him 'characters in form '. And if you dilute them with a comedic component, then it is generally beautiful. I consider this role his best, along with the role of ' mentor' in the film ' Sniper'
William McNamara plays the role of a freshly baked 'dembel' who, with the benefit of his personal pocket, served in the US Army. This is a brazen handsome guy who won't get into his pocket. He loves the fair sex and does not like to obey others, because he considers himself no worse than any commander. Together with Tom, they make a very colorful pair.
And finally, the main decoration of this film is Erica Eleniak. The real model of the month of the magazine “Playboy” perfectly diluted the male duo. Erica, despite her ' model' origin, perfectly played her role, having not only attractive external data, but also a true acting. If in the film ' In the Siege' they are remembered mainly by the scene ' an erotic gift from the cake' and was an unremarkable partner of Steven Seagal, then here it is pleasant to watch her not only during the chic sex scene, but throughout the film.
All three characters make up a harmonious comedy trinity, watching which is not boring throughout the film.
Noted here and ' veteran' second and third roles in the films of the 90s - Gary Busey, who is already a symbol of cinema on VHS.
The script is thought out. In some places, he is a little pulled by the ears for the sake of adventure, but everything looks quite logical and does not cause perplexed questions. I especially want to highlight witty dialogues, in which, as a rule, there are no unnecessary phrases, everything is in place.
The plot of the film keeps in ' interesting' tension throughout. You really empathize with the heroes when they get into different collisions. The plot is predictable only in the fact that you know that the characters still somehow get out of curious situations. But how is that? - It's interesting to watch.
The film is in my personal film collection. For mandatory periodic viewing to raise a good mood.
And not just because of the erotic scene.
