 Very Disappointing -- May 28, 2008
M. Hartmann (Milan, Michigan United States)
The movie plot as a whole was very good - with credible acting - have always enjoyed LDP's acting.
Especially as the sniper in Numb3rs --
I didn't get a sense of the Presidio in the film - just references.
I have never seen a movie when the bed scene is ever necessary to the plot - just added to tittilate the male viewers. Fast forwarded and never missed a thing.
The Bootie trap was not necessary unless he was a psychic and was mentally hit with flash.
Too bad I paid money for the parts I didn't need to see. Don't buy, you will get a better sense of the plot when shown [and cleaned up] on TV
Stan Brooks' Rosebud April 1, 2008
Mike in the District (Washington, DC)
Orson Welles has Citizen Kane and Coppola had the Godfather saga. Now, Stan Brooks has made his masterpiece. Much to Joe in the OC's chagrin, "Murder at the Presidio" has it all: great writing, top-notch action, fantastic production and incredible acting. LDP just nails the lead in this flick, and Jason Priestly shows that he's grown up since his 90210 days. But the real revelation in this film is budding superstar Jason Stewart as "Mafia Suit." His trademark lines "Show me what you got" and "You always say that" are as iconic as anything Arnold ever uttered, and were even immortalized in song by TISM. J Stew was able to parlay that performance into a role as "Bar Patron" in the now-cancelled sitcom "According to Jim." Way to go guys.
Sequel to The Presidio? November 24, 2007
Jose A. M. Nolla (San Juan, PR Puerto Rico)
Anything related to the former Presidio Military Reservation in San Francisco should be of interest to history buffs.Few places in America have such a historical background. This film however seems like a later day sequel to the film The Presidio, starring Sean Connery. Though acting is not at the same level it is still a good picture that shows the workings and interaction of military police/CID as it deals with crimes comitted by or against soldiers within its jurisdiction.
 Where Was This Made? It Sure Wasn't San Francisco June 25, 2006

Watching this movie was okay, although Lou Diamond Phillips sets new heights for cinematic narcisism. Yet I was suspicious from the start when I heard what seemed to be a recorded cable car bell. Sure enough, it appears that this was not shot on location. And I don't want to hear that it couldn't be done. San Francisco has a great Film Commission, and the Presidio Trust is looking for ways to market this new urban National Park. It's sort of like filming Miami Vice in Cedar Rapids - it just doesn't work.
 A Soldier's Story it ain't.... January 29, 2006

You'd never know it from the title, but this made-for-TV cheapie revolves around the investigation of a Murder at the Presidio. (No, it's not Bruce Brugmann strangling S.F.'s own Nancy Pelosi... he's saving his homicide efforts for the PG&E cabal.) Due to the military backdrop, you think you're in for a story of a rogue detective who won't back down in the face of massive political corruption and deadly intimidation from the status quo. As it turns out, you're really getting a color-by-numbers murder investigation with just a whiff of the 'Few Good Men' vibe thrown in. On the plus side, you don't have to hear Tom Cruise screeching about wanting "the truth" and having Jack Nicholson counter "You want the truth, start by coming out of the closet, bitch!!"
I'm sorry... Anyway, Lou Diamond Phillips, thinking he might be onto another "Courage Under Fire," does the best he can with what little he's given. He easily outshines his supporting cast -- not saying much, given that Eugene Clark delivers an early candidate for worst performance of the century. (He's yelling... I think he's mad... or maybe angry.) Jason Priestley, tired of strangers peppering him with "Where's Brenda?" taunts, cleverly disguises his identity with the help of a spare chin. There are some women in the cast, none of whom warrant a mention. Oh, and extra fireworks are supplied by Fullerton's own JASON STEWART, thrilling clones nationwide with his nuanced portrayal of 'Mafia Suit.' Sure, he doesn't appear especially 'Mafia,' and he's not technically wearing a 'suit.' But when he's dramatically blasted through the upstairs railings of a hangar-cum-barn and left for dead on the ground, there isn't a dry eye in the Blockbuster.
Did I mention that the killer's identity turns out to be totally implausible, notwithstanding the fact that 'Presidio' is based on a true story? Rent 'Band of Brothers' instead.
