Reviews:

Not bad, but somehow predictable
During this movie I had some fun to predict what will happen next. If you had watched (or read) many Thrillers with the Cold War as Topic it’s quite easy. This movie is like a time travel back to 1980’s. The music score was typical 80’s as the photography of the action scenes. Not only the photography and the score were solid like all the actors. Gene Hackman was the leading cast next to Tommy Lee Jones, Dennis Franz, Pam Grier and Joanna Cassidy. Gene Hackman is more or the less the same character as he was in many other thrillers. This time he is a good U.S. Sgt. who had some bad luck in his life but is still good enough to fight against all enemies of the U.S. Tommy Lee Jones is playing a villain and he always was great in such Roles. Hopefully he is doing more roles like that again in the future.

The suspenseful final wasn’t without flaws but overall I enjoyed “The Package”. Not the best Cold War Thriller but entertaining enough.

Entertaining, and not really dated
One of the biggest slams against this film is that it is supposedly dated in regards to the USSR and Cold War politics, but it takes place more during Perestroika and the end of the Cold War, so it retains a setting in a particular place in time. Perhaps it might be dated to those under 30, who can’t appreciate the import of the times, but it, at least, offers a reasonable glimpse into its times.

The Package tightly builds a portrait of a shadow force working against an elected government, so in that sense, it is timeless. It’s been on constant rotation on the THIS channel, and a third watching showed me how much the writers thoroughly worked out the various threads ahead of time, providing not only a patsy for the assassination attempt, but a method by where he would have been arrested and documented as a white supremacist ahead of time.

It’s hard to go wrong in a film with Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee Jones, and Dennis Franz, who all implement the characters they’re known for.

My only real issue is at the end, when the narration implies that a public investigation exposed the conspiracy afterwards in Congress. We all know that isn’t what generally happens. If anything, it makes the USA of 1990 look like a more moral country than it is now, probably because it was.

It’s not the most original conspiracy story I’ve ever seen, but it’s well thought out and executed, with plenty of references to the Kennedy conspiracy/Manchurian Candidate and the principles make it constantly entertaining.
