Getting Even

About This Movie

Getting Even is one of those peculiar 80s gems that makes you appreciate the era’s unique charm. The plot revolves around a soldier-of-fortune who pilfers Russian nerve gas in Afghanistan—yeah, it’s as wild as it sounds. The pacing’s a bit uneven, but it keeps you engaged with plenty of action and some campy thrills. There's this rugged atmosphere that permeates the film, enhanced by practical effects that have a certain rawness compared to today’s CGI overload. The performances are a mixed bag, but the over-the-top delivery really adds to the film’s quirky character. You can’t help but enjoy the mix of tension and absurdity, especially with a greedy millionaire rancher lurking around.
