Highpoint

About This Movie

Highpoint is one of those odd gems from the early '80s that blends action, comedy, and thriller elements in a way that feels refreshingly chaotic. You’ve got this embezzlement plot that drags both the mafia and the CIA into a tangled mess, which sets the stage for some quirky exchanges and unexpected twists. Lewis Kinney, played with a sort of charming awkwardness, gets caught up in all this, trying to keep his head above water while he's also pining for Lise Hatcher. The film's tone is a bit all over the place, but that adds to its charm. The pacing drags in spots, but the practical effects and some decent stunt work keep things interesting. It's like a weird mash-up of genres that just kind of works.
