 'Fifty Fifty'
Fifty/Fifty," actor Charles Martin Smith's tongue-in-cheek action-adventure film about a couple of lifelong mercenary pals in Southeast Asia, is a not bad grade-B genre picture that's about one major star away from being a not bad grade-A genre picture.
But when a CIA operative (played by third-time director Smith) enlists them to bring down the repressive government of Tangara, the two suddenly find themselves caring about something other than money -- primarily a slinky guerrilla princess named Suleta (the radically beautiful Ramona Rahman).
As a director, Smith (who played the nerd in "American Graffiti" and the accountant in "The Untouchables) appears to have picked up a few pointers during his days as an actor.

Fuzzy-faced actor Charles Martin Smith took time off from his studies at Cal State to make his cinema debut in The Culpepper Cattle Company (1972).
Specializing in nerdish, owl-eyed teenagers during the early stages of his career, Smith scored a hit as Terry "The Toad" Field in the two American Graffiti movies of the mid-1970s.
Other Smith performances worth noting include ill-fated FBI accountant Oscar Wallace in The Untouchables (1987) and AIDS researcher Henry Jaffe in the made-for-TV And the Band Played On.

Charles Martin Smith plays green biologist Tyler, sent by the Canadian government to "prove" that the wolves are depleting the caribou herds, but what he finds is a natural world in perfect harmony where he becomes a tolerated outsider.
Dumped unprepared in the wilds by a hard drinking bush pilot (Brian Dennehy), Tyler learns survival skills from the aged Eskimo who saves his life and the rules of coexistence from a neighboring wolf (which results in a literal pissing contest as man and beast mark their respective territories).
Both pictures (as well as his later Fly Away Home) feature animals in central roles, as the communion between the human and animal worlds is a significant aspect of Ballard's films.

Director Charles Martin Smith, remembered most vividly for his role as Farley Mowat in 1983's Never Cry Wolf, is no hack.
