About This Movie

Best Seller (1987) boasts a gritty atmosphere that immerses you in its dark narrative of crime and deception. John Flynn's direction keeps a tight pace, blending action with some really compelling drama. You’ve got a hitman, Cleve, who's not just about the job but about the story behind it, and he teams up with writer/cop Dennis. Their cross-country trek to dig up dirt is charged with tension, especially as unseen forces push back. The performances are solid, with a palpable chemistry between the leads. Practical effects, while not overdone, add a layer of realism that often feels missing in today’s films. The themes of morality and truth versus fiction make it thought-provoking, too.
