Audience Member Phew! This is a real stinker. The action scenes are the worse ever. So bad it should be categorized as a comedy. Show it on Comedy Central. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Jack B Started out ok. Devolved into corny cliches. Good violence; that’s about it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Steve D It is bargain basement despite Roberts. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Eric Roberts is a mid level gangster with a gambling problem in this low budget film written and Directed by Jesse V. Johnson. Roberts is actually very compelling in the lead. There are many other actors that appear in subsequent Johnson films, like David Keith. The small town feel and characters are two of the strongest elements of the film. As in all Johnson films there is action, betrayal, and violence. There are some element that need tightening up here as it was an early Johnson film but the seeds of many stronger and later films are here. I would add another 1/2 a star if you a fan, or aficionado, of Johnson films. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly appalling - for some reason Prime recommended this to me - it should not be recommended to anyone Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Certain to make your stomach churn. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
