The final shoot-out in the hills of New Mexico (reminiscent of a western) is particularly exciting, and makes creative use of sound and music. (As Peary notes, the &#8220;picture has an excellent, eclectic score&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s essentially a crime thriller, <em>Who&#8217;ll Stop the Rain?<\/em> is heavily driven by a core set of noteworthy performances. Nolte, &#8220;looking fit, is an action hero to rival Rambo&#8221;, and is eminently believable in his role &#8212; though one can&#8217;t help wishing a bit more of his personality was revealed or explained; at one point he&#8217;s referred to as a psychopath, but, despite his propensity towards violence, this clearly isn&#8217;t an accurate assessment. Meanwhile, Moriarty (who Peary notes it&#8217;s nice to see &#8220;in a non-neurotic role&#8221;) perfectly captures the quiet, jaded cynicism of a man who has seen far too much violence and &#8220;lunacy&#8221; during the war to remain idealistic; and Weld&#8217;s portrayal as his wife &#8212; a seemingly milquetoast bookstore employee and mother who becomes addicted to heroin during her nightmarish ordeal &#8212; is both brave and memorable (though again, one wishes the screenplay provided a bit more insight into who she is and what makes her tick). Another minor quibble: while Masur and Sharkey are appropriately menacing as the two thugs chasing after Nolte and Weld, they somehow come across a bit cartoonish at times; however, this is easy enough to overlook, as the story continues to propel us towards its bleak, violence-ridden finale. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nick Nolte as Ray<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Nolte.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Nolte-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Nolte-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Nolte-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Nolte-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Nolte.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Tuesday Weld as Marge<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Weld.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Weld-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Weld-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Weld-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Weld-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Weld.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Michael Moriarty as John<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Moriarty.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Moriarty-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Moriarty-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Moriarty-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Moriarty-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Moriarty.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The exciting final shoot-out<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Shootout.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Shootout-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Shootout-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Shootout-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Shootout-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Wholl-Stop-Rain-Shootout.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, for the fine performances throughout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noteworthy Performance(s)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0078490\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/movies\/wholl-stop-the-rain\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been waiting all my life to fuck up like this.&#8221; Synopsis: A cynical Vietnam vet (Michael Moriarty) convinces his buddy (Nick Nolte) to smuggle heroin back to his wife (Tuesday Weld) in the United States &#8212; but two hitmen (Ray Sharkey and Richard Masur) working for a crooked cop (Anthony Zerbe) are soon on their tail, forcing Nolte and Weld to flee.
