Wings Hauser and Robert Tessier provide plenty of action and Branscomb Richmond plays a memorable villain in "No Safe Haven", a revenge movie with lots to offer. You immediately know this is going to be a wild ride, when before the opening credits have rolled, you have guns blazing, cars and buses exploding, and naked babes. The sound track is very creative and adds to the excitement, along with several very humorous scenes. Everything about the film is high energy, and the movie gets real bloody, real fast. It's a treat to see Robert Tessier perfectly cast as an arms dealer, who obviously is proud of his work, and loves to demonstrate his products. There is nothing complicated about "No Safe Haven", it is simply a "B" action film that delivers the goods. - MERK
This was a comeback for Hauser. And I must say, it was one I like. He co wrote it too, and it isn't a badly made film. Revenge has always been sweet but it some cases, it can never be so deadly. Hauser's brother, a grid iron player who a drug habit, who got in with some bad people, one such guy, who you don't cross, Manuel (Branscombe Richmond), who asks him to throw the game, but he doesn't, bringing hell down on him. He and his mother and his younger brother are savagely murdered. The other one, Clete Harris, a CIA operative posted thousands of miles away, is too someone you don't want to cross. There's a storm brewing through him, and how he takes out the three, is impressively smart and awesome. He strikes up a friendship with Buddy's girlfriend, who provides a shock of revelation near the end. The opening to this flick, is cheaply and trashily exciting, just the start you need, where some of the chase shot is speeded up. What a trick? These baddie mother fu..ers, find a bus full of children been blown up hysterical, which is why we find their demises hysterical. Robert Tessier is legendary as Randy, who illegally houses all this big ammunition, out in the glades, where by a little shooting display, in the wide open spaces was classic, like the pro himself. He teams with Hauser for the final and most important kill. Honestly this is a bit better action film like many of this type, as too Hauser's background and living arrangements were intriguing as some of his tricks, in his strategy of death and vengeance upon these scum. And as an added plus, we have a Chris Rea hit song. For Hauser fans and other that crave action, and revenge, here's a good actioner while being impressive too in the fact, Hauser's pen was partly responsible for this film.
I always like a good revenge movie, which is why I rented "No Safe Haven", to see some good revenge. Indeed, the parts of the movie where Wings Hauser is executing his revenge are pretty good, but for some strange reason a lot of the running time is devoted to him fooling around with women and other activities that don't portray him as constantly working on his revenge plans. Also, after setting up one of the villains as a *great* bad guy (Branscombe Richmond gives a real memorable performance), the movie then forgets about him, only bringing him back a long time later for just a few minutes before completely disposing of him. Still, the movie does partially make up for that by introducing Robert Tessier's character, who is a charismatic ally of Hauser. Is the movie worth seeing? Yes, but I would recommend you only watch it when you are in an undemanding mood and can't find anything better to watch.
When Hauser wants revenge, you're dead already. You just don't know it yet. Hauser is out to kill every member of a Columbian drug organization because they executed his mother & little brothers. So he's a man with a mission, fair enough. The action & killings in this film get pretty hilarious. At one point Hauser locks a bad guy out on the balcony. He sets him on fire and gives him the choice: burn up or jump off the building. Another baddie gets first blown up, then run over by a speedboat (with Hauser at the steering wheel, of course). One more gets hooked up to a helicopter (by Hauser, naturally) and hitches a ride before plunging to his inevitable death. Wonderful! You simply don't mess with the Hauser.
Wonderfully ridiculous over the top 80's revenge actionfest. It's the usual Hauser standard, rough around the edges, not well made, a bit cringy, but a lot of fun. If you're into the genre and era then it's worth a look.
