Director Robert Zemeckis (
Forrest Gump,
Contact) had a hit with this 1984 comedy that first teamed Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Turner steals the show from the guys, however, playing a pushy romance novelist who gets stuck among some dangerous figures in Colombia and has only a rumpled guide (Michael Douglas) as an ally. The chemistry between the stars is infectious (the trio went on to make a sequel,
Jewel of the Nile, and then an interesting, dark comedy directed by DeVito,
The War of the Roses). Zemeckis--whose specialty at the time was creating set pieces of raucous action (as in his
Back to the Future)--keeps things hopping with lots of kinetic material.
