Tank: Review

starstarstarstar
Zack (James Garner) is an Army officer nearing retirement who arrives at his new post in Georgia with his wife (Shirley Jones), son Billy (C. Thomas Howell), and hobby on a trailer, a restored Sherman tank he putters around with. One evening, Zack goes into town where he strikes up a conversation with Sarah (Jenilee Harrison), a 17-year-old prostitute who works for the local crimelord, who also happens to be the local law enforcement officer, Sheriff Buelton (G.D. Spradlin). When one of Buelton's henchman slaps Sarah around a little in front of Zack, he decks the guy. Buelton is angry now, so he arranges to have Billy set up for a drug bust and sent to a harsh prison farm. Legal methods are no help to Zack as he tries to free his son, so he finally resorts to his tank. A poor script and lackluster direction keep this film from achieving anything noteworthy, but the sheer likability and easy charm of Garner carry the film. Spradlin is a worthy villain; the other performances are mediocre, as is nearly everything else about this film. leave a comment
