A friend reminded me earlier today about Stewart Raffil‘s High Risk, a low-budget action thriller about “four naive Americans, in need of easy cash, deciding to fly to Colombia and raid the safe of a notorious drug lord with connections to the corrupt military regime.” I’ve never seen this 1981 film, but it’s playing for free right now on YouTube. My friend’s point was that J.C. Chandor‘s Triple Frontier, which I’ll be seeing around 7 pm this evening, is an upmarket version of High Risk. Give Raffill credit for at least assembling a fairly decent cast — James Brolin, Anthony Quinn, Lindsay Wagner, James Coburn, Ernest Borgnine, Bruce Davison and Cleavon Little.
