Every Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Ranked Worst To Best

21. Raw Deal

Arnold Schwarzenegger Ranked

Contradicting its gorgeous-looking poster by the great John Alvin, Raw Deal is perhaps the most lethargic offering from Schwarzenegger's heyday - albeit one not without its fun moments.

Here, Arnold portrays a small-town sheriff and former FBI agent out for revenge against a criminal outfit. Undercover shenanigans ensue, as slowly but surely, Schwarzenegger takes down the organisation he's infiltrated.

Sadly, director John Irvin doesn't add much colour to the proceedings. The film plays out in shades of brown and grey, while the action scenes themselves are shot in a stilted manner. It takes a lot to bury Schwarzenegger's charisma, but ultimately, Raw Deal does just that by saddling him with a humourless protagonist.
