A by-the-numbers action flick featuring a stern Arnold Schwarzenegger, Raw Deal has all the traditional traits of the genre. Schwarzenegger is a disgraced former FBI agent who winds up as sheriff of a backwater Southern town. He is given a chance to reclaim his job when the head of the Bureau offers him reinstatement if he'll go undercover to capture the mob boss responsible for killing his son. Schwarzenegger must get close enough to gain the trust of the gangster without being discovered as a mole, while gathering enough evidence to take him down. One of Schwarzenegger's early films, in which he honed his persona, Raw Deal offers up the usual quotient of gun battles and tough talk, with a trace of self-deprecating humor from its star, making it reasonably worthwhile entertainment. --Robert Lane

Arnie plays an undercover mob guy who needs to bring down some extreme scumbags while posing as one of them. It's a very silly film but good entertainment.
Recommended if you don't mind a completely lame plot.

Raw Deal was one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's first films in his successful eading man career. Therefore, one can forgive him for making this kind of film because it was so early in his career. People were still getting used to the idea of a heavily accented Austrian as the new action hero on the block. Therefore, almost anything he did would seem novel.
Arnold plays a former FBI agent who was accused of wrongdoing, and ends up leaving the bureau and becoming a small-town southern sheriff. His bureau mentor, played by Darren McGavin, comes to help asking him to work undercover to bring down Chicago's top mobster, who in the midst of a turf war with a Jewish gangster (played by Steven Hill of Law and Order fame). Thinking that this could restart his old career, Arnold agrees, and ends up in the middle of the turf war, trying not to be exposed and running afoul of the hood's chief lieutenant, played by Robert Davi.
This movie is not groundbreaking, but solid and entertaining in its own way. You will definitely get your share of action from Raw Deal and shouldn't feel cheated.
