Death Before Dishonor: Review

starstarstarstar
Fred Dryer (TV's "Hunter") is Sgt. Jack Burns, a tough-as-nails Marine sent to the Middle Eastern country of Jamal (Lebanon by another name). A man of action, Burns is commissioned by his old pal Col. Halloran (Brian Keith) to run security at the US embassy. His real job is as an ally and observer for the local military forces, who are constantly besieged by terrorists. After Halloran is kidnaped by a small band of terrorists, Burns fears for his buddy's life and wants to go after him, but the US ambassador (Paul Winfield) insists on "playing this by the book." Ignoring orders, Burns teams with a photographer, Elli (Joanna Pacula), who is in contact with the terrorists, and through her manages to find their hideout. Director Terry J. Leonard can stage an action scene, but his work with actors is less than steady: veteran performer Keith contributing the only memorable work. Israeli locations stand in for the thinly veiled Lebanon, with much of the action taking place at Nebbi Mussa, a 12th-century Moslem fort. Strangely, Moslem authorities allowed the filmmakers to shoot at the holy place where thousands pray annually, only to have themselves and their religion insulted. leave a comment
