Review of No Safe Haven

No Safe Haven (1987)
Routine actioner
1 May 2023
My review was written in September 1989 after watching the film on MCEG/Virgin video cassette.

"No Safe Haven" is an okay action pic that curiously has sat on the shelf nearly three years before headin for video stores.

Written by the husband-wife team Wings Hauser and Nancy Locke, pic toplines Hauser as a U. S. spy in Honduras who heads home for revenge when mobsters kill his mom and young brother. Teamed with sidekick Robert Tessier (bald thesp cast as a good guy for a change), he then heads back south of the border to clean up the drug lords.

Under Ronnie Rondell's direction, pic moves at a fast clip and has solid stunt scenes. Subplot involving pro football is not very interesting or germaine to the story.

Hauser is fine as the tough-guy hero, while there is some odd in-joke banter between him and Locke, who plays a Peace Corps worker in Honduras.
