Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Flashpoint
I was the Location Manager on this picture and it was a tough one to make. The entire movie was made in and around Tucson, Arizona. We shot it in the summer with temperatures ranging upward to 110.

The wash is located on the Kings Anvil Ranch. I told John King I needed a strip to land a plane so he got in his bulldozer and ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great story
I consider this movie a classic of the JFK Conspiracy theory genre. Well-acted by all major characters; Kurtwood Smith is especially good as a very bad character; it's strange to see him now in a comedic role on 'That 70's Show' on TV.

Beautifully photographed in Tucson,Arizona area --although the story takes place on the Texas border. Highly entertaining; give it a look! ... Read More

Many "theory" plot movies have been made, but, this one leaves the viewer looking at genuine possibilities about the murder of President kennedy in Dallas, Texas of 11/63.
The 2 border patrol agents are skillfully portrayed by Kristofferson and Williams. A worthwhile piece of entertainment.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Dry Riverbed
This is a reasonably decent HBO movie with Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams working for the Border Patrol. When they find a buried jeep with a sniper rifle and money they start to investigate where it came from. The next thing they know there are government agents in town that want to kill them. They must figure a way to get to the bottom of where the money came from and get out of the country without getting killed. This seems like a TV movie but the production is good enough it is certainly ... Read More
