Director Robert Zemeckis had a hit with this 1984 comedy that first teamed Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Turner steals the show from the guys, however, playing a pushy romance novelist who gets stuck among some dangerous figures in Colombia and has only a rumpled guide, Douglas as an ally. The chemistry between the stars is infectious and Zemeckis--whose specialty at the time was creating set pieces of raucous action (as in his "Back to the Future")--keeps things hopping with lots of kinetic material.
