It isn't until the final moments that a switch-a-roo of sorts is made in terms of who the villain is, and calculated to drive home the message of the film, that is, survivalists are all crazy, deluded gun nuts. There should be a directors cut release of this movie. Hilarious, but slightly misguided, spoof of survivalists
Walter Mathhau is as dependable as always but is let down by a poor script. It is disconcerting that now in 2018 things have not changed much... from the government bureaucracy to the all-powerful profit motive... but let that be for now, this is a very funny film.

Robin joins a survivor military group preparing for the end of the U.S. I'm suprised it isn't more popular. Having both lost their jobs, two strangers become unlikely friends after a run in with a would be robber, who is actually a hitman with a grudge against the two. Given his tragic demise the final scene of a frantically despondent Williams coupled with a solid, consoling Matthau is surprisingly moving. There isn't too much in the way of character building, but I didn't honestly expect too much of that in this type of movie. There are a few moments of comedy thanks to the stylings of Robin Williams playing a rather serious scenario with brazen hyperbole. I think this is one of Robin Williams best and funniest movies ever.

It starts out almost as a comedic take on vigilante movies like Death Wish where instead of being a calm, collected story of vengeance the protagonist is a hysteric and knee-jerk wreck. I THOUGHT THAT MOVIE WAS VERY FUNNY AND HILARIOUS THAT HAS TO BE THE ONLY FUNNY MOVIE THAT ROBIN WILLIAMS EVER MADE AFTER THAT HE HAS NOT MADE ANYTHING ROMOTELY FUNNY COMEPARED TO THE SURVIVORS ....AND HOW AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE WITH CAT-LIKE QUICKNESS?" ....AND HOW AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE WITH CAT-LIKE QUICKNESS?"

This movie makes it seem like any wacky person can walk into a gun store and walk out with guns, grenades and rocket launchers. They just don't make movies like this anymore, I ordered it so that I could preview it to some friends whom had never seen the movie and they all asked where they could get copies since they had never laughed so hard or seen Jerry Reed portray such a character before, thank goodness we can always count on Amazon to make these classics available.

Good Morning, Vietnam (Special Edition) He is about to get married and Walter's is having daughter and job troubles as the "killer" decides to get them. It is sad that such talented actors were squandered in service of such a torrid message. While this might be true to an extent, this still doesn't excuse reframing the hitman as just another victim of an economy in the toilet (to borrow a phrase from the film).

Knowing Robin Williams' track record for being in some very funny, emotionally sweet, and truly memorable movies; I decided to buy this movie and give THE SURVIVORS a spin in the ol' DVD player. This one act will shape the path he chooses to go down the rest of his life.
