Avis à la une
Wonderfully ridiculous over the top 80's revenge actionfest. It's the usual Hauser standard, rough around the edges, not well made, a bit cringy, but a lot of fun. If you're into the genre and era then it's worth a look.
Wings Hauser and Robert Tessier provide plenty of action and Branscomb Richmond plays a memorable villain in "No Safe Haven", a revenge movie with lots to offer. You immediately know this is going to be a wild ride, when before the opening credits have rolled, you have guns blazing, cars and buses exploding, and naked babes. The sound track is very creative and adds to the excitement, along with several very humorous scenes. Everything about the film is high energy, and the movie gets real bloody, real fast. It's a treat to see Robert Tessier perfectly cast as an arms dealer, who obviously is proud of his work, and loves to demonstrate his products. There is nothing complicated about "No Safe Haven", it is simply a "B" action film that delivers the goods. - MERK
My review was written in September 1989 after watching the film on MCEG/Virgin video cassette.
"No Safe Haven" is an okay action pic that curiously has sat on the shelf nearly three years before headin for video stores.
Written by the husband-wife team Wings Hauser and Nancy Locke, pic toplines Hauser as a U. S. spy in Honduras who heads home for revenge when mobsters kill his mom and young brother. Teamed with sidekick Robert Tessier (bald thesp cast as a good guy for a change), he then heads back south of the border to clean up the drug lords.
Under Ronnie Rondell's direction, pic moves at a fast clip and has solid stunt scenes. Subplot involving pro football is not very interesting or germaine to the story.
Hauser is fine as the tough-guy hero, while there is some odd in-joke banter between him and Locke, who plays a Peace Corps worker in Honduras.

No safe haven was a typical revenge action movie,Wings Hauser in my opinion is highly underrated,he's one of the rare actors who can play both a hero and a villain convincingly,and he is the best thing in this movie aside from some truly nasty deaths,i like revenge movies because most of them are quite satisfying,i.e.the death wish movies,and this film was no exception,violent and better for it,a strange bondesque pre-credit sequence which hasn't really got anything to do with the plot was the oddest thing in the film,but worth at least one viewing if you like a good old-fashioned,action-packed b-movie.
This was a comeback for Hauser. And I must say, it was one I like. He co wrote it too, and it isn't a badly made film. Revenge has always been sweet but it some cases, it can never be so deadly. Hauser's brother, a grid iron player who a drug habit, who got in with some bad people, one such guy, who you don't cross, Manuel (Branscombe Richmond), who asks him to throw the game, but he doesn't, bringing hell down on him. He and his mother and his younger brother are savagely murdered. The other one, Clete Harris, a CIA operative posted thousands of miles away, is too someone you don't want to cross. There's a storm brewing through him, and how he takes out the three, is impressively smart and awesome. He strikes up a friendship with Buddy's girlfriend, who provides a shock of revelation near the end. The opening to this flick, is cheaply and trashily exciting, just the start you need, where some of the chase shot is speeded up. What a trick? These baddie mother fu..ers, find a bus full of children been blown up hysterical, which is why we find their demises hysterical. Robert Tessier is legendary as Randy, who illegally houses all this big ammunition, out in the glades, where by a little shooting display, in the wide open spaces was classic, like the pro himself. He teams with Hauser for the final and most important kill. Honestly this is a bit better action film like many of this type, as too Hauser's background and living arrangements were intriguing as some of his tricks, in his strategy of death and vengeance upon these scum. And as an added plus, we have a Chris Rea hit song. For Hauser fans and other that crave action, and revenge, here's a good actioner while being impressive too in the fact, Hauser's pen was partly responsible for this film.
