- PLEASE NOTE: A message will appear across the movie at 24:16, 48:23 and 1:11:11 to let viewers know that it was uploaded on the "Manfocused" channel. Brief Synopsis: A group of New York City apartment-dwellers hire John Mack (Louis Gossett, Jr.), a no-nonsense ex-military man, as a security guard after a murder within their apartment building. Everyone is pleased with Mack except Charlie Hyatt (Martin Sheen), a liberal who feels that the guard too often takes the law into his own hands.
He and Sheen were incredible in this. Great performances. RIP LGJ
I have been looking for this movie for the longest time. I had this movie on my mind for a min and after Louis Gosset Jr. passed I definitely had to watch this again. Been binge watching all Gosset Jr. Movies all day. R. I. P. Mr. Gosset. God bless. 😢. Thank you for providing this movie on TH-cam. 👍
They want to bury this movie because it shows a “Highly Intelligent and Competent “ Black man saving a White man who still (If you see the ending) doesn’t want to believe he’s that good.
@@ROYALP100 Well , here's the movie, not buried at all. Enjoy !
The version ABCTV Australia broadcast in the 8.30 p.m. timeslot on the night of June 17 1994 sounded better with better music and no over-dubbing of the original voices.
I remember watching this movie around the time it came out. Riveting. The scene at the end is worth the price of admission alone. Louis and Martin were really great in this. RIP Louis.
Wow, what a movie. Both Gosset and Sheen are dynamite together. Worth buying
Riveting movie. Martin Sheen was great, but Louis Gossett Jr., was superb. Can't get enough of Mr. Gossett. Thanks for providing this video.
Louis Gossett jr and Martin Sheen in one movie - a treat of the very special kind!
gangs know carry guns ,hand to hand combat is gone.
Yes!!! @Andy Mangele. Anytime I Martin Sheen in The Credits of a Movie I know its going to be good!
Money well spent at the movies
Exactly 💯
My younger brother and I watched this with my pops when we were kids. Such a slept on classic. A lot of life lessons and gems in this one for sure.
They don't make them like this anymore.
@@Ricobaca Yes I Agree 💯 With You They Definitely Don't Make Them Like This Anymore, Good Classic Original Clean Fun Entertainment From Back In The Day.
I am here for the memories. Watched this with my parents on HBO when it first came out. Now they're gone and watching this brings me back.
Damn, your Statement is Gospel.
A real good & disturbing movie I watched on HBO back in 1984. You can't find this movie anywhere else, it was on VHS. Worth watching with great Actors portraying in the film & made in New York & starting Actors. 7 of 1-10. It does happen even today. Good & BAD out there.
What a great movie from great actor Rip Mr gossett.
💋💋💋LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie! One of my favorites from the '80s! Thanks so much for sharing! TH-cam, you've done it again! 💋💋💋
I have Not seen this movie since the 80’s but I have been “looking” for it for several years. It made such a great impact on me because of Lou Gossett. Thanks so much “Manfocused” for posting this excellent movie. I just subscribed to your channel too. 👍💚😎⭐️🔥✌️
I remember watching this movie many years ago. I remember thinking how it was such a very powerful piece... and I still feel that way!!!
Been looking for this movie for years. Great performance by Sheen and Gossett.
I can't believe I found this movie from so many years ago! Thanks for uploading it. Gosset's finest!
Rest in peace, Lou Gossett Jr.
Man i forgot just how great this movie is and i haven’t seen it in like 35+ years but luckily i found it here, thanks for the upload.❤️❤️
Such a strange, thought provoking and well done movie. Timeless relevance.
Strange????
@@markjones7109 yeah, still dont really know if Lois was good or bad
Louis Gossett, Jr. is a great actor, loved him in Enemy Mine, tar for the upload.
Another great one from the late, great Levinson-Link team, the writers of "Columbo"! Awesome! Thanks again Manfocused for another great film! I'm a woman, but I LOVE your Guy Flicks! 😁😀😄
The 1980s were crazy and this film kind of touches on the crazy criminal side of it. HBO really made some great TV feature films back in the day! Watched this when I was a kid, thanks so much for uploading it!
Thank you for posting all these great movies!
Video shop in U.K I worked at in mid 80s had this on VHS, I'd forgotten the sub-plot so a real treat to watch it again. The gang v Sheen scene, what a tension builder, the Gossett jr v gang scene, wo that got the juices flowing... fantastic film, thanks to the uploader
Thanks for posting this movie on youtube didn't think I would find it.
Thanks for making it available to watch
Simply one of the best suspense thriller from the 80s. Hope to see it on DVD and BLURAY some day. Thanks for sharing
Lou Gosset Jr is the man! He carried this film with artistic finesse!
I saw this movie when I was "10" it was burned into my memory, Gossett's character was a necessary evil if you want to call him that, he made the Tenants see through his eyes what "Security" means, overall this movie was excellent.
I agree.
What a great movie!. Thanks for uploading.
This was shown on HBO in December, 1984, right at the time of the Bernhard Goetz Subway Vigilante shooting. I'm sure that was just a coincidence but because of Goetz, this was the perfect time to show this film.
Sheen: I wanna go to Queens any problem?
Driver: Long as it ain't Harlem!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Top movie, both Martin Sheen and Louis Gossett jnr were brilliant.
Louis Gossett, Jr is a great actor. I love watching his movies.
Dark, unnerving........Martin Sheen never dissapoints and good acting all round.
Quite an ironic, but unique script, worth a watching.
Great movie, with some of the subject matter being forward-thinking for its time. Gossett and Sheen are superb actors always!
Yeah this was a great movie it should have won an Oscar Martin Sheen and Louis Gossett jr. Two of the best actors ever⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
For a older film, this ideology is as relevant today as it was back then. Very well put together, Martin Sheen and Gossett Jr. were excellent here, as well as the whole cast. I liked this movie very much and in the end we are left with our own thoughts of the truth. In today's world we have Trojans and Malware, Viruses we cannot see to add to the entry areas crime enters our homes...Best pray and be diligent with our defenses, sadly in every aspect of our lives.
Thanks so much for adding-uploading this great movie!!! It just recently disappeared from TH-cam only a week or two ago, just before I finished watching it!! So Thank You Very Much Manfocused!!!
Had John not shown up Mr. Hyiatt, would have been Mrs. Hyiatt. Love the ending.
An amazing work of Louis Gossett,Jr....
Great film! Thank you for posting x
Thanks for posting.
I was really impressed by this movie. Well done and good actor's
One of the most underrated movies.
Great movie which I knew nothing about! Thank you so much!
one of my favs from that era. thx
I been looking for this movie. thanks
Very good film. RIP, Louis.
I just Heard About Louis Gossett JR,May He R.I.P ,He Will Be Missed 😢
40 years later and nothing in New York has changed
Great cast! So relevant today. Cheers! 🏴🇫🇰
8-31-24 watching it again favorite movie
I need this movie with Spanish subtitles, please. I saw it years ago and I can't find it anywhere! Thank you
A great movie! Thank you!
thanks! excellent film from the golden 80's..
Good movie, there is always one pain in the ass do gooder, mind you, he got his.
I love Louis Gossett Jr!
Thank you for this! I happened upon this movie after Mr. Gossett passed. Do you know who the young Black boy in Queens was? He looked like Keenan Ivory Wayans to me.
I saw this when it first came out. Such a good movie.
I don't know? I think I now have more questions than answers. Good movie, it makes you stop to think. How much it too much. And I know, "It is easy to disregard sin, until it directly effects you." Also, If you make an example of one, others tend to shape up quickly. Kind of like the next to the last scene. Unfortunately in our society, we are in the 'wrong' when we take a stand against bad behavior. It has some levels to it that would make for a great discussion.
Arthur Hill--what a great voice he had. Could have been a broadcaster.
Much obliged for this vmovie.
Great movie, thanks for sharing.
I had heard good things about this movie.
Martin Sheen and Lou Gossett, Jr.
Thanks for posting.
Hard to watch scene near the end. And I see how it would stick with people.
Spoiler: I like that it's a bit ambiguous. Maybe Louis did all those awful things, but maybe we're willing to live with it, if it keeps us safe.
Only dishonest thing John Mack did was telling everyone the tenant’s meeting was cancelled w/o telling Charlie Hyatt. But there was no evidence John orchestrated any crimes.
These Residents got on my nerves. Murder, Rape, & Robbery were not enough horrible events to listen to Security?!?!
I loved this movie then........and I love it now...tyvm for this video
Great movie and acting, would have stood on its own on the big screen.
I've seen this great movie long time back, till now it stil facinats me.. Happy to see it again
THE FIRST TIME I SAW THIS MOVIE I HAD JUST GOT MY OWN APARTMENT AND THIS WAS ON THE LATE SHOW AND I WAS SCARED SHIT 😁😁😂😀😀
Wow> great story w/twists & human nature> the liberal got a personal dose of reality that changed his tune> well done, good acting, moved along cohesively & I sure enjoyed this movie> recommend
An excellent movie. Very relevant then and unfortunately more so now. There are always caveats to more laws, more security compared to those who want to hurt others. Look at security now in large cities, especially New York.
Superb acting by MS.
Great movie. The ending is very unsettling.
Too bad crime in NYC seems to be getting worse again these days.
This movie has a similar theme to the 2004 movie "Crash", in that the proverbial "bad guy" is not necessarily all bad ...... "Crash" took the theme a step further, in that the proverbial "good guys" had some serious character defects that came to the surface when the chips were down in their lives.
1:32:24 imagine being 11 years old in the 80's watching this scene and asking your mother why isn't he trying. Then asking what do they him to do anyway? 😕
Creepy movie, I liked it but don't understand the ending.
The point is that Martin Sheen now sees the point of Louis Gosset's approach to managing the crime. Now that it happened to HIM.
This is a classic take on the Liberal vs. Conservative stance on crime. At least, just one side of it.
Bri G. John is a narcissist and now he can't say shit because he saved his ass. he can move or let the security Nazi continue to run his life.
June, you re typical of how silly women are when it comes to dealing with the darker element.......
He looked at front of his building clean no one hanging out in front of it. (It's a safe place) versus the police sirens out in the city(unsafe) he now understands what Gossett was trying to teach him about safety
@@ziggyschumann5284 Ziggy until your grow a vagina please refrain your silly women talk. Dumbness isn't allocated to a specific sex
The security guard would have employees, wouldn’t he? He can’t guard any building 24/7 on his own, and he can’t guard more than one building on his own.
EDIT. Also, you don’t give cows’ milk to cats. Cats are lactose intolerant.
Also, when the guard is told about the r@pe he says “She’s going to be alright isnt she?” That dates it! Nowadays it is accepted that nobody is “alright” mentally afterwards and, indeed, it is too early to tell about physical harm because she could have been given a STI.
Geez! You’re reading way too much into this. John Mack’s first concern was that Fran (the victim) was not killed or had a life threatening injury. Later on, there’s a scene where he’s escorting Fran to her apt. from the laundry room, where she thanks him b/c she still feels traumatized & John tells her he’ll keep doing it for as long as need be. So there is awareness about the mental/emotional scars rape victims have.
IT'S A MOVIE. GET OVER IT
@@SamWesting
THANK YOU
No, they hired A guard, one and really more of an advisor. He stated early on he would only be there sometimes and really only for the first little while.. His main duty was make the building less vulnerable to entry from those that didn't belong there.
Cats have been drinking cows milk for many hundreds if not many thousands of years.
Obviously alright meant her physical state as in she was still alive.How could you have taken that any other way ?
Awesome Film Lou Gossett at his Best.
Lou Gossett, Jr 👍
Great movie! Remember when it came out. Thx
He was even better in the Inspectors years later, great actor..
Wow, that ending threw me for a loop. Great movie.
Great movie; good actors with well-written characters and a able director, social contedemation and tease of bourgeoisie.
very good movie........ funny how the soft hearted sentimental fool was woken up to the reality of the dark element in our world and how to deal with it properly.........OM TAT SAT
Properly? Okaaaaay .......
Great movie!! Old is gold, absolutely!!
Interesting movie; slow at first, but well worth seeing through to the sly twist at the end.
I was quite surprised at how visual the rape scene was for a movie of those times... OAN: I hollered when LGJ pressed the horn on that truck because I know Martin Sheen peed his pants being right in front of the truck 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rest in Peace , John Mack, LGJr, best actor
GREAT UPLOAD
He never checked to see if he was telling the truth about the boy being rehired. If he took the shiv found in the alley it make sense the guy would make another one. If there are cameras on the front and only one tenant on the ground floor who doesn't secure his window then chances are they would get burgled. Seems to me he was intimidated by this guy whom everyone admired including his wife and son. (A son who went from wanting to go to work with dad to wanting to spend more time with the cool war vet
Kinda reminds me of “Fighting Back” (starring Tom Skerrit)
I'm checking that one out then.
These cop 80s movies are the best~
great chanel.
4-20-24, Louis Gossett Jr, greatest actor… Sarg Foley RIP!!
Many things to learn from this movie story
Timeless movie . Last of the great ones love the beginning bad boys.
Excellent.
Curiouser and curiouser. Said Alice‼️‼️
Thank you
I really like the movie until the end, Mr. Hyatt should have been kissing John's ass. That building needs two John's.
He didn't have to. My Hyatt's face said it all and John knew it. Even if he never did have the guts to say he was sorry, facial expressions say a thousand words. It was a powerful ending hearing those police sirens while viewing John and Mr. Hyatt. Sometimes a good ending doesn't need words.
RIP Louis Gossett Jr.👑👑👑
