Alan Arkin and Armand Assante wasted in this generic script ....

Nothing more than an expose of the criminal element's involvement in waste hauling, is kind of a waste itself, because two fine actor's talents, Alan Arkin and Armand Assante, are wasted in this generic script. There are absolutely no surprises, and Michael Learned's part as Arkin's love interest could have been written out, as it has no bearing whatsoever on the thin plot. Gratuitous explosions and the usual mob posturing are not entertaining enough to hold interest. Character development other than Arkin's is weak, and I kept thinking that the whole thing doesn't really amount to much, even for a TV movie. It's a shame because I wanted to like it, but the shallow script buries "A Deadly Business". - MERK

Worked for Chuck

Not a good movie at all but I ran 2 restaurants in San Diego for Chuck, or Mr. Mac, as we called him! This was in the late 80s/early 90s and he was a good guy! Funny thing he always came in wearing a velour sweatsuit and tinted shades! His nephew would tell us some great stories of 'back in the day'!

A great character study/drama, not completely factual

This was a very good and forgotten TV movie that was shown on CBS once, and I don't think was ever aired again, anywhere-I'm lucky for my mother to have recorded it. Alan arkins' performance along with the performance of Michael Learned as Kaufmans' girlfriend, Ray Serra, and Jon Polito were fantastic. Original soundtrack flows superb. However this story is solely according to Harold Kaufman and the NJ Starledger news paper, and it makes Kaufman out to be an aging not-so-bad thief that suddenly has a crisis of conscience, in fact in a Starledger article released on the date the movie was aired, Kaufman admitted Michael Learneds' character never existed and was created for dramatic purposes
