7/10

Surprisingly good compared to most American films made in the Philippines.

During the late 1960s and into the 70s, the Philippines was the site of quite a few ultra-cheap movies....and some of the most famous were the 'girls in chains' exploitation films. But they were not restricted only to this cheesy genre....and "Impasse" is proof there were more movies made there than just exploitation.

Burt Reynolds stars as Pat Morrison, the leader of a group of men who are in search of lost gold. It seems that as the country was falling to the Japanese in WWII, the US Army hid valuables...including gold. Well, a friend of Pat's knows where the gold might be...and so Pat organizes a group of men to help in retrieving it.

This is a decent adventure film and in spite of its humble location, Reynolds has a decent cast supporting him. The script also isn't bad. Overall, one of Reynolds' better films.
