I recently watched No Mercy (1986) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around a Chicago detective whose partner is killed during a bust. He takes some time off to investigate the crime on his own, leading him to New Orleans. When he locates the girl toy of the drug lord they were trying to bust, he handcuffs himself to her, creating an uneasy alliance as they work to achieve his mission.
Directed by Richard Pearce (Heartland), and starring Richard Gere (Pretty Woman), Kim Basinger (8 Mile), George Dzundza (The Deer Hunter), William Atherton (Die Hard) and Bruce McGill (Law Abiding Citizen).
This film is a nostalgic part of my childhood, having watched it on HBO numerous times while growing up. The storyline, while feeling like a classic '80s action movie, is rather average, with no standout elements. Richard Gere surprisingly excels in his tough guy role, and Kim Basinger's presence is undeniable. However, I wished the film featured more of her throughout. The plot takes unexpected twists and turns, culminating in a satisfying conclusion.
In summary, No Mercy is a typical '80s action film, featuring strong performances from Gere and Basinger. I'd rate it a 5/10 and recommend watching once.
