Exciting and Cool Thriller., 19 August 2005
Author: Ty from Hamden, CT
"Crusader" is another good film from Bryan Goeres. He's 4 for 4 because of this, "Art Heist", "Face Of Terror", and "Phase IV".
The plot is about Hank Robinson (Andrew McCarthy) who is a reporter for a local news station in Spain. He inadvertently gets footage of a massacre at a powerful computer company. After that he is hired to be a top reporter for VisionTV run by Archie McGovern (Michael York). Hank gets assigned other stories by Nicola (Bo Derek) but the story that got him into the big time turns into a battle of deceit, double-crosses and murder.
Andrew McCarthy is great. Michael York puts in a fun performance. Bo Derek is okay.
In the end: There's a lot of action and suspense to definitely warrant a rental.

this movie is so bad it's a comedy, 3 November 2005
Author: hshowe from Los Angeles
evidently Spain gets more rain than London, (contrary to "My Fair Lady"), nobody wears a raincoat, and women have a competition to see how few ounces of clothing they can wear. Media networks are peopled by directors like Michael York named "McGovern", and women named Luciana or Vittoria or something who speak with flat American accents and look like Bo Derek. The star reporters in Spain are Americans too, with names like "Hank Robinson", who seem to need to save Spain from its greedy media titans. Good thing America doesn't have any greedy media titans. It's amazing how much metropolitan Barcelona looks like Vancouver, during action shots, or even Pittsburgh. Also its amusing how everyone in the cast at the millionaire/executive level is two steps away from a grimy alley devoid of people, especially if they're carrying incriminating tapes/evidence. The streets of Barcelona would seem to be peopled about 85% with contract killers waving guns with perfect lip gloss. TV stations with tapes of global impact are empty so the villains can stalk the place, (we all know how stations wait to release killer videotape). have some beers ready to drink every time someone shouts "bullsh*t" at the screen!

Passable, 1 November 2005
Author: Bill from New Haven, CT
The thriller element is alright, but the script is one of the most laughably bad I've heard in a while. Some of the lines are real clunkers.
The odd combination of a couple Americans (McCarthy and Bo Derek) and a Brit (Michael York) in the main roles and a cast of Spaniards is incredibly unrealistic. Hokey, but still, kind of fun.
The opening scene is full of gratuitous violence. It was so full of death I almost stopped watching, but some people may find that cool.
Andrew McCarthy looks thin and wizened. He really should pack on a few pounds. Bo Derek is surprisingly good considering she really isn't much of an actress.

So so., 2 February 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I found this movie a little boring. Also, the actors in the movie are not so famous. But Andrew McCarthy is a handsome guy. I like him. His eyes are very charming. Michael York seems to have starred in lots of films, but I've never seen any one of those except "Crusader." Anyway, I wouldn't suggest my friends to see this movie because it's not something like a box-office hit. But if someone feels bored and wants to kill the time, it's a choice for him. The female killer looks familiar, but I cannot recognize who she is. I cannot find the information on the Internet. It may be because she's nobody. I cannot reveal any major plot elements here because they would make a spoiler. If you want to see this movie, enjoy it, and don't expect too much of it.
