Renegades (1989)

This is the chief....

Warning: Spoilers
Sutherland and Phillips take time out between the young gun movies, and make this pleasant little buddy film.

Sutherland plays Buster, with a moustache of jealousy. He is on vacation, but is doing his own thing. When a diamond heist goes wrong, Phillips' brother is killed and his beloved spear is stolen.

so they team up and try to take down the bad guys...formulaic stuff, but thanks to the chemistry of the leads, it's a little above your usual action movie.

Things are the same though. They dislike each other at first, get to know each other, fall out a bit, and then become best mates at the end.

It's the kind of movie, that won't trouble the grey matter, the set pieces are at regular intervals, and there is a little racism on board for good measure.

It's a shame it was released in a year when there were so many high profile sequels and franchise movies, if this was released a little later in the year, it might have been more recognised.

Still forgettable fun though.
