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
Mark Harmon, Gary Busey and the great Robert Duvall all give fine performances in this film. It is a good action flick that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you cheer for the good guys and the red white and blue. There are so many what you could call hidden "subliminal" messages in this film. There is a message in this film about the power of friendship, these men are willing to risk their lives to save their friend. This film sort of reminds us of people left behind like POWs in Vietnam. I like the fact the bad guy in this film is a scummy drug dealer who gets it in the end. Drug dealers are scum and murderers to me, they need to be wiped out! Gary Busey has been trashed enough for what he has done in his personal life, that is irrelevant. He is a fine actor who does good work. He is really funny in this film and steals the show. Robert Duvall is a GIANT in his field. This man was even in the Guiness Book of World Records as one of the most versatile actors of all time, he can play any role and play it well you would not even recognize him in one role from another. I really loved Saving Silverman because the message in the film was about friendship, the question HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO HELP A FRIEND???What a wonderful message! This film asks it as well. The blood and guts and shooting and explosions will keep you awake and on the edge of your seat, but the message will make you think after the credits are over. This film came out soon after Rambo: First Blood Part II did. It was when the country was experiencing a wave of patriotism. People realized they treated the Vietnam vets badly when they came home. They spit on them and called them baby killers. It was a horrible time for our country and we realized our wrongs at last. This film brings the message home that we must never do it again. Lets Get Harry won't be considered a classic film, but it is well worth your while to watch it.
