Deal of the Century Deal of the Century

Arms dealers from several companies vie to sell the most expensive and highest tech weapons to a South American dictator. There are complications; understanding the exact nature of how 'gifts' are used to grease the wheels of a sale, a religious conversion from one of the salesman and a romance that begins to grow between two competitors.

    Review by Sean Armstrong ★★★

    A movie that has flashes of brilliance, but never quite finds its feet. Still worth a watch.

    Review by Mike McGranaghan ★★

    Watched this for the first time in almost 30 years. An ambitious satire that doesn't quite gel, but gets points for effort. A nice change-of-pace performance from Chevy Chase.

    Review by David Valkenet ★★½

    At best it's interesting to see what a Chevy Chase comedy directed by William Friedkin looks like, at worst a overly serious political message movie. I laughed very little.
    Overall I felt it got weighed down by its own self-seriousness.
