Blu B @RT43513976 Jan 13 What a strange movie. Imagine if someone mixed Death Wish & Smokey & The Bandit together and replaced the Pontiac with a WWII tank you'd get this. It's kind of I guess what you'd expect. James Gardner is great in this and the most likeable person. The Sheriff is menacing and good also And there is a decent line of dialouge every now and than too. Everything and everyone else though is just ok. Some of the acting is hammy. The direction is pretty basic. I didn't even notice they were in the Deep South until halfway. This has a weird tone problem where it wants to be very gritty and serious but than whacky and zany like a Smokey & the bandit style humor. Kind of reminds me of Convoy a bit also in a sense of the rouge folk hero he becomes. But it's also and I think the biggest underlying problem such a farfetched idea. Like how does the U.S. Government never step in when a tank is on the loose. They use a WWII bazooka and not a modern Stinger or something?

Its a pure joy, sotuational comedic relief but has a lot of heart. See more 05/30/2020 Some of the acting felt a bit forced, and that was painful to watch See more 07/15/2018 The first half of Tank is mostly just ridiculous dialogue, random plot events, and surprisingly brutal scenes about a hooker. Just when you give up on the movie being any fun at all, the second half begins: an all-out, carefree, explosive shoot-em-up comedy that is just so lovable and great. It's not exactly PG by today's standards, but kids could see it and enjoy it for the tank action. C. Thomas Howell is actually pretty good in his role, and James Garner is enjoyable as well. It's more than a little crazy, but it puts its ludicrous premise to good use and I don't see why anyone would have any big problems with it.

The trailer seemed to be show some cool shots of the tank and that was what attracted my son. After watching it I am a bit disapointed in the content and suggestive material in this movie. It is rated PG but I think that is incorrect. Good: Sherman Jumbo Tank footage - mostly near the middle to end of the movie. Escape from degenerative back country bot laws - justice served Father son bonding moments Interesting fed/local gov conflict setup Standing up for the weak - we are all called to protect the disenfranchised Military family dynamics ... could be somewhat real Bad: Taking the Lords name in vein more than once Cursing **it, **ck, etc... Many sexual adult situations and innuendos Multiple derogatory situations not necessary for the family mind Actress attire not appropriate (Jenilee Harrison acting as hooker showing a little too much for a PG) ...this was an 80's movie and it really makes sense as to why so many of this era have slid into moral decay..may God help us repent!
