"Raw Deal" is perhaps one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's least known movies, a film that he made after the success of "The Terminator", marking his transition from B-movie actor to A lister. The film wasn't a box office success and you can easily tell why, because the film never quite manages to deliver.
Now, I definitely wasn't expecting an art-house drama, but even as a no- brain actioner the film somehow fails to be really entertaining. There aren't too many action scenes in the first part of the film and even those seem to be a little rushed and badly edited. The acting is also typical for a low budget movie, most of the supporting actors giving underwhelming performances. As for Arnold, there are films where he proved to everybody that he can really act, but this doesn't happen to be one of them. He isn't particularly good here, but he still has some of his trademark one liners that made him such a beloved actor.
This is a film that could have done with better directing, better acting and a more original story. It doesn't work in the end, but it might be worth seeing if you are among Arnold's fans.
My rating: 4,5/10
score /10
