Writer, Director Max Klevin delivers one of the best films of the modern Hollywood era with this thrill a minute movie based in the shadowy world of bail bondsmen and Colombian nutters. Almost all of Klevin's previous work has been in stunt coordination and this shines through with cars going through walls and people falling off horses all the time!!! As ever The Hoff delivers a faultless performance and his fans will share his delight when he brings down the baddies helicopter with a flare gun and punches the air with delight. Throughout the film Hasselhoff brings his superior ability right to the fore and delivers his one liners like a seasoned comedian.
The support cast is also very strong with Linda Blair playing a confused heiress like she was a confused heiress in real life. Nobody else famous though.
The most surprising thing about Bail Out is that it didn't spawn any sequels or spin-offs. The buddy buddy aspect of the film is on a par with Lethal Weapon and new adventures for this team would have been lapped up by an eager audience. Ideas for spin-offs could have incorporated White Bread and a lot of babes setting up a female bail bonds team and getting into mischief while wearing bikinis. Or White Bread could have to make sure the real life David Hasselhoff shows up for court (on trumped up charges) thereby allowing The Hoff to play two parts in the same film - namely White Bread and David Hasselhoff. I would love to see David Hasselhoff playing two parts (such as twins, one good and one bad preferably) as he does this so well in Jeckyll and Hyde the musical.
Oh yeah - if you like horses this film should be avoided as lots of horses look to get hurt.
Joe and Stu thought it was ace. I thought it was ace.
