The listing, AGAINST ALL ODDS _ DVD _ starring Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward! has ended.
Before Jeff Bridges was "the Dude" he was Terry Brogan in one of the best action/drama/seductive modern noir films of all time. The Phil Collins song from the soundtrack will be stuck in my head for the rest of the night.
PLOT:
Terry Brogan, an aging football player in L.A., is cut early in the season; he needs money, so he takes a job from a shady friend of his, Jake Wise, to track down Wise's girlfriend, Jessie, who's somewhere in Mexico. She's also the daughter of a very wealthy land developer, who owns Terry's team. He heads for Cozumel, finds Jessie, and promptly falls in love with her. He thinks it's mutual, then without warning, she heads back to L.A. and Jake. What's going on with her, and what's the connection between Jake's hold on Jessie and the various politicians, lawyers, and environmentalists who seem to be converging on some sort of land deal? Terry keeps looking for answers.
The DVD is in excellent conditon and perfect working order.
I'm open to adding a GIN on request. Happy Bidding Everyone!
