The Sicilian Cross a.k.a. Street People (First viewing, YouTube) – 6/10
Roger Moore plays Ulysses, a half-British half-Sicilian lawyer and mafia counselor who is assigned to track down the perpetrators of a heroin theft in San Francisco. With the aid of his long-time friend and partner, a race-car driver (Stacy Keach), he gets involved in a search that will reveal a shocking mystery.

Genre: Crime, Mystery, Action
Worth watching? The plot is contrived. Watch it only if you are a Roger Moore fan.
Worth re-watching? Only if you are a die-hard Roger Moore fan.
Bottom-line? Skip it.

[Davy_Lee]

Loophole (1981) (First viewing) – 6/10
An unemployed American architect (Martin Sheen) gets entangled in a daring daylight heist of London’s biggest bank vaults with a gang of criminals led by a debonair Englishman (Albert Finney).

Susannah York, Jonathan Pryce and Colin Blakely co-star.

I remember this from my saw-it-at-the-cinema days. Didn't see it though. Could have been a good thriller.

Genre: Crime, Thriller
Worth watching? Once, if you are curious.
Worth re-watching? No
Bottom-line? Watch it but don't expect a nail-biter.

[Davy_Lee]

Band of the Hand – 7/10
Five selected juvenile criminals are sent for survival training in the Miami Everglades under the command of a Vietnam veteran named Joe. Upon successfully “graduating” the program, the five boys are placed in a drug-ridden neighborhood for community service. However, this attempt leads to an armed conflict with a gang and their boss that rule the streets. When their mentor is killed, the boys - with their newly acquired "battle skills" - decide to band together and retaliate at all costs.

Lauren Holly, James Remar and Lawrence Fishburne co-star. Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky and Hutch TV series, The Running Man) directs.

I watched it on video back in the days. It’s an 80's teenage boy’s action romp.

Genre: Action, Crime, Drama
Worth watching? Yes
Worth re-watching? Depends on how much you like it.
Bottom-line? Buy the blu-ray strictly for a trip down memory lane.
