Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough neither Las Vegas nor Alabama figures in the plot, these two areas did play a special role in the film. Robert Duvall (Shrike), the mercenary hired by the plumbers to guide their rescue mission, to prepare for his part in the movie, visited Las Vegas to attend a convention held by Soldier of Fortune Magazine, the Bible of mercenaries, weekend soldiers, and weapon afficionados. There, Duvall had a chance to familiarize himself with the firearms and knives used by mercenaries, meet the men who have devoted their lives to fighting counterinsurgency and guerrilla wars, and pick their brains for ideas. Duvall also made a special trip to a mercenary camp in Alabama, where he had a chance to observe these professionals in action as they trained for future combat. One of the outcomes of these trips was a new look, including a shaven head, and a new catalogue of mannerisms, which Duvall brought to the film with stunningly realistic results.

Featured review
Let's Get Harry is an excellent action movie, as far as low-budget, throwaway action movies go. Don't expect state-of-the-art special effects, a deep and meaningful plot, or Oscar-winning performances by any of the stars (however, it should be noted that Gary Busey, arguably, gives one of his best performances). What you will find, however, is a movie that will entertain fans of the genre for 102 minutes. Basically, it is a Charles Bronson movie without Charles Bronson. As for racial insensitivity, anyone that finds insensitivity within this movie is not a true fan of the genre and probably ought to stay away from action movies in general, as any movie where white people aren't being slaughtered is offensive to them. The purpose of Let's Get Harry is to entertain, not to provide thought-provoking insight into US/Colombian relations.
