Additional Information
Dennis Meechum (Brian Dennehy) is a cop who has supplemented his meager policeman's salary by writing a succession of lurid crime novels, including one based on an episode from his own life. But his imagination fails him after his wife's tragic, premature death from cancer. Lonely, burned-out, and unable to write, Meechum is shaken from his doldrums by his "chance" meeting with a former hit man named Cleve (James Woods). Cleve drags the writer around the country presenting him with details and evidence of an outlandish national murder spree orchestrated by a wealthy man considered to be a pillar of Los Angeles society. It is Meechum's job to put it all down in a book and make his informer the hero of the expose, but he soon realizes that he and the mysterious Cleve share a past--and, worse yet, that the hit man has by no means given up his murderous ways. A crackling suspense thriller with a plot like a Pachinko machine.

INTERESTING TWIST ON THE 'HIT-MAN FOR HIRE' GENRE!
I saw this film when it came out on video in 1987, and my opinion of it hasn't changed with the passage of years. The two stars (James Woods and Brian Dennehy), being such excellent actors in their own right are always good value for money, and the pairing of them here works really well. I think this film is an interesting study of the relationship between 'the good guy' and 'the bad guy' and the revelation that the bad guy is actually more complex and not as completely bad as either of them thought. That said, purists would probably denounce the improbability of the storyline, but my attitude is that well drawn characters, good performance and well crafted scripts are what movies are about, which in turn enables you to suspend your disbelief and enjoy it for its own sake. This is a thriller and full of excitement, but not at the expense of the dialogue or characterisation, unlike most 'action' films made now, which have negligible plot, incomprehensible dialogue and owing more to computer skills than performance artistry. My recommendation would be that you take a look at 'Best Seller' and risk wasting an hour and a half out of your life. If you like it, like me, you'll watch it again. If you disagree, you can write your own review!Read full review

Best Seller is a bit of an old fashioned thriller. Which means no kung-fu, no twin pistol weilding and no slaughtering mooks by the dozen. In this case this is a good thing as it leaves room for smart diaglogue and a great double-act of James Woods and Brian Denneghy as a cop ,Meechum, and a killer, Cleve, who work together to bring down the killer's old boss. This isn't a buddy pic, Denneghy's character loathes Cleve and with good reason as he is an arrogant, vicious, self-obsessed pyschopath. Luckily he is played by Woods who makes him into an incredibly cool, arrogant, vicious, self-obsessed pyschopath. One who you can't help liking even as he murders his way through his bosses minions. Cleve takes Meechum through his bloody history of killing so Meechum can write a book about it and expose his boss. There is murder, chase scenes, very dark humour and the two leads striking sparks of each other in a bravura acting display. The ending left me a little disapointed but fundamentally this is a smart, cool and genuinely THRILLING thrillerRead full review

John Flynn has directed some good, tough, pacy thrillers and Best Seller, along with the 1973 The Outfit, can claim to be the best of them. It kicks off with not one but two slam-bang action sequences and then, having grabbed our attention, pitches us straight into its twisty plot premise. Brian Dennehy, reliably watchable as ever, plays an ageing cop-turned-novelist who has hit a writer's block since his wife died. James Woods at his most suavely sinister is a hitman with dirt to dish on the head of a big corporation. Woods proposes a Faustian pact. He provides Dennehy with the full crooked story on the mobster-turned-corporate boss and the cop writes it up. Dennehy gets a best seller; Woods gets his revenge and comes out looking like a hero. The dialogue, courtesy of screenwriter and horror-movie director Larry Cohen (It's Alive; Q--The Winged Serpent), is satisfyingly hard-boiled and slips in plenty of subversive sideswipes at rampant capitalism. ("It's the American Way, Dennis," says Woods, detailing how he helped his boss rise via robbery and murder. "I'm a businessman, an executive.") This certainly isn't the only movie to get mileage out of the symbiotic relationship between cop and crook (see Michael Mann's Heat), but it works several neat variations on the theme, with Dennehy and Woods both at the top of their respective forms. If the film never quite lives up to its potential--the required final confrontation between the two principals doesn't materialise and Victoria Tennant is thrown away as Dennehy's love-interest--it remains a way better than average thriller with its roots deep in the best B-movie traditions.Read full review
