Featured review
Ruckus is movie about An sorry and troubled vietnam veteran that stumbles into A small town with even smaller thinking population. Everything and Everyone that looks or seems different is weird and rejected. Although hé doesnt do anyone any harm, they want him out by any means. Formiliar ? Yep... it Rambo. Sadly someone ( the
Director) thought the story Should be a funny comedy/love story/ thriller including "funny" eh annoying banjo music on every single chase scène (just like the tv show of that age) . An director that could not see what he had. That in Essent is why first blood was a box Office hit and Ruckus wasn't. Stallone knew he had... A thriller. Like the book was an thriller. Too bad this director didnt realise which way hé should film this story, but i wonder of this director had the neccesairy experience to do what Stallone did? Lets imagine hé did and could... and Dirk benedict would have starred in Ruckus the thiller later to be named 'Rambo'. I bet he would be great! And since there arent that many movies to admire the one of A kind Dirk benedict Ruckus deserves much more admiration. You need to see this movie! Maybe not as great as Stallone but still... 'fun'
