 | I watched this movie YEEAARS ago and simply LOVED IT! It was action packed, thrilling, exciting, on-the-edge-of-your-seat stuff and it was one of those movies which stayed with me and I never forgot about. I'm a Gene Hackman lover, who was brilliant in his role, and don't mind Matt Dillon at all either. It's about time they brought it out on DVD. Thank you!
Gene Hackman and Matt Dillon play a father and son at odds with each other in this twisting cloak and dagger adventure that chases across Europe. It begins calmly enough, as Walter Lloyd (Hackman) goes about his mundane everyday life as the owner of a texas lumber-yard. His son Chris (Dillon) has little patience for his boring, overly cautious dad, and neither thinks they'll get any closer whild Mrs. Lloyd vacations overseas. But when she gets kidnapped, Walter and Chris cross the Atlantic and the boy discovers amazing things about his multi talented father. For Lloyd is actually a seasoned, Cold War, ex-CIA agent, fluent in several languages, an expert driver and an accomplished killer. Now someone's taken his wife and he won't rest until she's safe-no matter what needs to be done to get her back. A gripping drama of intrigue laden with surprises and action, TARGET hits dead center for suspense, fun and excitement. |

| I enjoyed this movie when it was first released. Once you get past the generational angst the movie is entertaining and suspenseful. I am looking for a dvd copy but I'll settle for the vhs. |

| gene hackman and josef sommer are pros and bring the other amateurs along for the ride in fine style. almost campy, but suspenseful and entertaining at the same time. The theme of "dad is a boring twit, oops, he is speaks three languages, kicks [...], and handles a gun and a car like a CIA grandmaster", is terrific ego boost for old fathers. I only logged on to buy a dvd copy. unbelievable that it is not released in that format. |

| i am a fan of matt dillon(drugstore cowboy, over the edge, the flamingo kid and albino alligator just to name a few) I also liked this film. It's got suspense, its got action and mystery. There are some holes in the movie. Gene Hackman kicked in this movie a major punch as Dillon's father/ex CIA agent. They have to find out who kidnapped his wife and so they go to Paris, where Hackman used to work, but left a long time ago and Dillon is just learning about the hidden past of his father. People try to kill him. In the end its very good and its really pleasing. I enjoyed it |

| If you're looking for a good old film to watch, watch TARGET. It's a great story with character development, some twists, a creative story, and too good of a film to find a place to pause. This movie DESERVES to be on DVD. If all those junky films are on DVD, there's no reason for this not to be on DVD.
I vote for this to be on DVD, many times over! |
