User Review
Ingedients:Full of Nutritious Arnie one liners. (no artificial acting)
Rating: 4/10
Raw Deal was in the classic Arnie era, the era of one line classics and
bad acting. How quality is this film, its just non-stop from start to
finish. You've got the classic good guy joins the mobsters gang in
order to bring them down - Arnie sports a classic lumberjack shirt in
this film as he plays a small town sheriff (check out the car chase at
the beginning). He rolls of classic line after classic line, there is
one instance where him and his wife have a argument - she throws are
cake at him after she has had a few drinks, he says
"You shouldn't drink...and bake"
how cool is that
this looks surprisingly low budget for Arnie, but you have to watch it
for its comedy value
