Review of Courage

Courage (1986 TV Movie)
10/10
made an impact on me
4 December 2015
I was a teenager in high school when this film came out. I watched it on television but, unlike the reviewer that talked about the scene of the baby being killed being cut, when I watched the film on television, they showed that scene. The movie starts out with two men getting out of a car in Miami and pulling something large out of the trunk hidden under blankets (you don't know it's a shotgun). They go into a house across the street and you hear yelling about giving them the drugs or money and one of the men stating to the other to "go get it done" and then you hear a gunshot. Then the camera goes inside and you see the parents huddled in the living room screaming and crying and they pan to the baby's room and there's a huge hole in the crib. I think this is why I remembered this movie, it was such a shocking scene, it took my breath away. It showed the true brutality of drug dealers. I vaguely remember the rest of the movie, but I do know that Sophia Lauren was excellent and brings down a huge Columbian drug lord. Obviously, if I remember it to this day, it was a good story! I thought of this movie today when we talked about a show about a Columbian drug lord story he's been following on Netflix. I'd really like to see this movie again.
