Born American was Renny Harlin's first film, and

Born American was Renny Harlin's first film, and while I admit I enjoyed some of it, I'd be lying if I said it was a good film or if I even liked it. The film starts with a group of three friends that aren't anything special but likable too who are captured by the Russians after they make the grave mistake of crossing the border. It's the dramatic scenes that later follow that we realize these guys aren't good actors! And the film is full of stupidity in so many moments too that you find yourself ripping on the characters for their dim-witted actions! I gotta say that what sets this movie off on a somewhat enjoyable premise was it's action scenes, which for 80's standards are pretty cool and fits pretty well with the dozens of other low budget "trashy but guilty pleasure" action flicks of the 80s. It may have some interesting scenes here and there, but I feel it's weak performances, rushed character developments, and striking similarities to Midnight Express hurt the film greatly, and it's predictable moments make you cringe at the film. It was okay, and for a rip off it's not half bad, but it's otherwise a lame ass film.

Three Americans learn a valuable lesson about freedom

Three Americans learn a valuable lesson about freedom while on vacation in Finland when they foolishly decide to cross the Soviet border only to be captured and sent to a gulag. A good start unravels. The chess death game is a head-scratcher.
