COCAINE WARS 1984 (TUBI)

During the video store boom of the 80's and 90's I saw this film box everywhere and even had the movie poster, but I never watched it until the other day.

Roger Corman co-produced this action film starring John Schneider as Cliff Adams, a DEA agent who is working for the largest cocaine dealer in the world.

Everything seems to be working ok and Cliff meets a lovely American reporter named Janet (Kathryn Witt). When the dealer Gonzalo Reyes (Federico Luppi) wants Cliff to kill a man who wronged him, Cliff has to make a decision. He decides to bring Reyes down once and for all.

Cliff's cover is blown by Janet when her paper release a story early and this puts both of them in grave danger. There is a LOT of action in this film as one would expect from the Corman stable.

The film was made in Argentina and director Hector Olivera handled the chores nicely. The film moves along quickly and Schneider does a very good job with his role.

The rest of the very good cast includes Royal Dano, Rodolfo Ranni and Edgardo Moreira.
