top made for tv movie, based on true events which i love, great acting and a good action movie, this movie captured the true events and did justice to the men of the FBi, i reccomend this movie to all movie fans highly. 10/10
This has to be one of the best made for TV movies that you are ever likely to see.
Based on the real life story of Platt & Matix ( played by David Soul & Michael Gross ) two murderous bank robbers operating in Dade County, Florida, this film is expertly crafted and maintains a gripping pace all the way through.
