The Presidio

This is one of my husband's favorite movies and I had been unable to find it until I tried Amazon.

He watched it the day it came and enjoyed every minute of it. Knowing him he'll probably watch it at least 5 more times in the next year.

Harmon & Connery have excellant chemistry

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I love Megan Ryan to start with. Tom Harmon and Sean Connery are also two of my favorite actors. What makes this movie click is the friction between Harmon and Connery and yet, the mutual admiration each has to the other. The plot is excellant as you don't know the outcome until the very end. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone.

Worth the Time

I like what M. Hartmann said> I to just like some movies and don't tear at them much. This is not the best movie ever made but I was involved and enjoyed the plot about past sins, mistakes, and learning from others. After a murder on the Presidio base leads to a chase into S.F. city limits Connery and Harmon(who dislike each other must work together to find the truth. Like I said, nothing special but I was entertained and that's what a movie is supposed to do. enjoy

Sean Connery's hidden gem

Sean Connery plays a gruff Provost Marshall to Mark Harmon's street-wise cop. Overall excellent cast. You can see some of Mark Harmon's NCIS persona in Sean Connery's character. All you can say is fun to watch!

Two good actors, no plot...

1988's "The Presidio" paired veteran actor Sean Connery with a young Mark Harmon and a younger Meg Ryan in a rather mundane San Francisco murder mystery. The movie was set at the U.S. Army's beautiful Presidio of San Francisco military base and in San Francisco itself.

Connery is Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell, the cantankerous, by-the-book Provost Marshal of the Presidio; Harmon is Jay Austin, forced out of the military by Caldwell and now a hot-headed San Francisco police detective. When a military policeman is murdered during a break-in at the Presidio Officer's Club, the two must cooperate on the investigation. Their difficult relationship is made more challenging by Austin's attraction to Caldwell's beautiful but rebellious daughter, played with aggressive gusto by Meg Ryan.

The murder investigation leads to a conspiracy with ties back to the Vietnam War, culminating in a violent shoot-out in a bottled water warehouse. The plot will seem clumsy to audiences now savy on crime forensics; the even clumsier dialogue sometimes threatens to bury the movie altogether.

The movie has its redeeming features. Connerly and Harmon manage to craft a little "old bull, young bull" buddy chemistry on screen. A scene in which Caldwell impresses Austin by using a little hopkido to clean up a bar with a loud-mouthed drunk may be the highpoint of the movie. The movie makes good use of its location shooting around the Presidio.

This movie is recommended as mild entertainment for fans of Sean Connery and Mark Harmon.
