Average review score:

Dudikoff really can act!
This is the only Dudikoff movie I like. He is convincing as the bumbling bounty hunter. The DVD sounds great especially in the action scenes...great snowmobile chase. And the fight scenes sounded real instead of the usual bad Hong Kong fight sounds. Funny and exciting...even my girlfriend liked it!

certainly one of Michael's better movies.
a different type of action movie that you would not usually see Michael Dudikoff in. the character he plays steers away from the 'martial arts superhero' stereotype and shows good acting abilities.

ITS A GOOD MOVIE
I cant agree with the last reviewer if indeed you could call what he/she wrote a review.I enjoyed it.Some of the acting was suspect but Bill Murphy and Terry Mcmahon more than made up for the weeknesses.The fight scenes between Bill and Don were realistic and truly powerful.Bills intensity is explosive and terry is truly menacing.

The 20th Century: A Moving Visual History
Released in DVD by Mpi Home Video (30 May, 2000)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Twentieth Century
This 10-episode set devotes a video to each decade of the 20th century, and the results are mixed. The approach is fairly standard, utilizing archival newsreel footage or videotape shot for news programs to document the major events of each decade as well as using interviews with scholars and commentators to occasionally provide perspective. As the century began with hand-cranked film cameras and closed with endless news coverage on cable television, there is a great variety of material to draw from, and much of it is fascinating. However, devoting an hour or even more to each decade means that there is never much depth, and there is also an unfortunate lack of varying viewpoints. Most of the people interviewed in the various videos have a leftist perspective and, in some cases, such as the presentation of the Reagan years, the imbalance of viewpoint is striking.These videos do provide good overviews of the decades, and major events and characters are rendered in general terms, but at times a lack of depth and some curious editorial choices are frustrating. Still, the documentaries in this set do cover a tremendous amount of ground, and for the most part they do it in an entertaining and informative manner. --Robert J. McNamara

The 20h Century: A moving Visual Hisory
I loved the VHS version of this documentary, so I ordered the DVD. I was truly astonished to see that it had been entirely re-written from a leftist (not liberal, but leftist) perspective that, among other things, lets Marx and Lenin off the hook for the misery they wrought on millions. Please buy the VHS original version and forget this revisionist attempt at re-writing history. Lincoln said, "If history isn't true then it isn't history." This could be said of this documentary.

Missed opportunity
At 11 hours in length, this series had the potential to be an excellent overview of the most eventful one hundred years in human history. Unfortunately, a preoccupation with race relations and anti-war and labor movements as seen from a uniformly leftist perspective renders this a highly unwatchable series for serious historians and newcomers alike. Not that these events were unimportant, but the documentary is so leftist in its perspective that it tends to trivialize the great conflicts of the century as if the final outcome of the various movements should have been clear to everyone all along. A really sorry effort of a documentary. Unless you like unchallenging documentaries that make little effort to delve into the complexities of the 20th century, avoid this turkey at all costs.

Great film survey of an entire century
I found this a fascinating overview of a topic that is too big for 12 hours of film -- 10 decades of mostly U.S. and some world history. There is a good balance of topics between wars-and-dates, popular culture and personalities, and the changes in conditions of regular people -- workers, soldiers, immigrants, and women.

An ongoing theme is the evolution of things we now take for granted, such as access to information, equal rights, a decent standard of living, and core American values and civil rights. Most events are dealt with only briefly, an unfortunate necessity given the medium. But the topics, images, and film clips are always interesting.

I read the reviews here before I saw the DVD and was watching for a left-not-just-liberal slant, but I saw very little for most "hot button" topics mentioned. There is little time even spent on Israel and the Palestinians, for example. And the internment of Japanese-Americans in WW II got only a brief mention, much shorter than the time devoted to "Casablanca."

Yes, the film was sympathetic to the rights of minorities, but it didn't focus much time on Civil Rights except during the 60's. Yes, early Socialists were portrayed as idealistic in response to capitalist excesses, but Stalin and Mao were portrayed as evil. Nixon's achievements at home and abroad were praised as brave and underappreciated, while his personality was portrayed as contributing to his downfall. The survey of Clinton's presidency focused mostly on scandals.

Perhaps recent events are still too fresh for either the film's makers or its viewers to see in a fully "historical" context. I found the coverage of the recent decades adequate, but I was even more interested in the presentation of the early decades and the portrayal of various cause-and-effect trends across the decades.

I recommend this 4-sided DVD set, and think it is worth your time. It comes with a table of contents that lists the 100+ chapters, and a very detailed 35-page index. I wish it or its Web site ...included more depth about the myriad of topics that are touched upon, or at least references for further reading, but I guess that's what the library is for.
