I'm giving it an extra star for Mickey Dolenz

God, this horrible!!!What an utter waste of talent. James Coburn? Fonda? Was the director high? Did the actors have to take this project to get on Daddy Coppola's good side?I'm actually writing this review no one will read, rather than pay attention to the last 30 minutes of this epic time waste.Thankfully you can fast forward through most of it.

Schemes and dreams

Here is a film I really found unjustly criticized. Deadfall is a lot of fun, though a lot of people won't share my opinion. In the art of the con, father and son, team (Coburn, who double stars here) and Biehn, are the best. When the con backfires and Coburn is killed, Biehn makes a fatherly promise to track down his Uncle (a slicker white haired Coburn) and retrieve some stolen valuables. It's here that Biehn, meets some particular weird types, none weirder of course than movie stealer, Cage, in a great, purposely overacted performance, that's deserves some acting award- may'be great overacting. He's hilarious. His beautiful girlfriend (Back for Revenge's Sarah Trigger) is not all she seems, as are many others, and it's great to see her get her gear off. You'll never see the big pay off in the end, the ultimate con, which kind of really have bad repercussions for one party. There are some surprisingly take note, memorable, performances, in particular, that of Charlie Sheen, as a dark menacing figure, who spouts lines from Mark Twain novels, a fantastic pool player you don't want to cross. The other notable performance is that of Peter Fonda, as one of Uncle's Coburn's bodyguards, who you wish you saw more of him in this, he's that good. But of course it's Cage's scenes, that you're gonna love, especially if you're a Nic Cage fan. I like the fact, Deadfall chooses to be something different, an off the wall crime caper, with characters of insanity, the only sane being Biehn, who really didn't really exude himself enough. Or was he 'spose to play it down pat? He just didn't really do it for me, just being upstage by some classic acting performances. His sane character is an amusing contrast to the others. We even have one guy who would put Edward Scissorhands to shame. There so many things that make this film fun, but I know the main reason for watching it again: Cage.
