Raw Deal

RAW DEAL (1986) - May 27, 2004 (Second viewing)
One of Arnie's lesser known films. And in fact, it was probably one of his weaker movies, but still pretty good. It was really violent, which helped. Arnie plays a disgraced ex-FBI agent who infiltrates the mob to get his old job back. Arnie was good, of course, but the script doesn't really give him the opportunity to do anything really cool or deliver any good one-liners. Not to say that Arnie wasn't cool; he's always cool. The movie just doesn't use him to his fullest potential. Though the Commando-esque ending, in which he takes on at least thirty guys, was pretty sweet. ***
