Customer Reviews of The Ambassador

Not one of Cannon's better offerings.
Then again we must remember that " Cannon Films Group " didnt really make a-list films tobegin with, these guys were b-movie specialists of the Eighties. Most of their Golan & Globus produced films were strict heroic/action types, ie: The Delta Force. This as far as I know was one the few forays into intrigue/suspense.
The story has Robert Mitchum in the title role leading an old but distinguished cast. His adultress wife is played very wonderfully by Ellen Burstyn, and let me say she is the reason this tape hit the VCR so many times back in the eighties. Ellen has a surprise topless scene that is worth the price of admission. The ambssadors loyal friend/security chief is played by Rock Hudson in his last film. He does a good job as they all do with an ok script.
The Ambassador to Israel is trying to bring peace to the Middle East, but his wife has an affair with one of the PLO chiefs, and the affair ends up on film. Rock races against the clock to get the film back and save his friends peace "process" (I hate that word).
Not bad for some late night viewing. I will get a DVD copy when ever it comes out just for the historical value, ya know, Ellens topless scene!!
