Emerging from prison after four years, Neil Skinner (Pierce Brosnan) has only one aim: revenge against the man who framed him, his former business partner Ebbet Berens (Tom Skerritt). The two handled security for a San Diego racetrack, but Ebbet has since usurped both that and Sheila (Wendy Hughes), Neil's former love. The embittered Neil assembles a group of track insiders to pull off a robbery that will vindicate him and send his rival to jail. And, if he's lucky, he'll win the girl back too.

Carlos T 4d Existem filmes que apostam na grandiosidade. *A Corrida da Vingança* aposta na inteligência. Lançado em 1989, o longa traz Pierce Brosnan em uma fase pré-James Bond, mas já demonstrando o carisma frio e calculista que mais tarde marcaria sua carreira. Aqui, ele interpreta Neil — um homem que cumpriu sua pena na prisão e sai com um único objetivo: retomar o que acredita ser seu por direito. Seu ex-sócio Ebbet não apenas assumiu a empresa, mas também ficou com sua esposa, Sheila. Não é apenas dinheiro. É orgulho. É traição. É honra ferida. --- ## 🧠 Enredo Neil não age por impulso. Ele planeja. Observa. Calcula. Reúne uma equipe para executar um assalto ao clube jóquei administrado por Ebbet. Mas aqui a escala é menor. Mais contida. Mais pessoal. O roteiro é simples, direto, sem camadas excessivas. E talvez esteja aí sua força. Não tenta ser mais inteligente do que precisa — mas também não subestima o espectador. Nota final: **6 See more 04/01/2009 I first saw Brosnan in Remington Steele. This movie totally sealed my fandom. I think it's probably the best heist film I've ever seen. See more 01/30/2009 Great Heist film especially after seeing Thomas Crown Affair. Tom Atkins and Noble Willingham have great supporting roles. Tom Skerrit plays the bad guy and Pierce Brosnan owns it up. If you like Thomas Crown Affair I would highly recommend this. See more 08/22/2007 Quite good for con movie. See more 06/15/2007 A great heist movie. I recommend seeing it. Well worth your time. Pierce Brosnan does an excellent job.
