      Audience Member A wooden performance from Michael Pare as a marine who travels to Spain to find the drug dealers responsible for killing his sister. More Tawny Kitaen needed here. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Instant Justice starts off as a pretty solid and promising action movie but then falls off in the final third. Michael Pare plays Scott Youngblood, a Marine that has to go to Madrid to check on his sister only to find out that she's been murdered. He then embarks on a mission to mete out justice on the men responsible for her death. There is some pretty decent action here and Pare does a good job as Youngblood. The movie then takes a turn when Tawny Kitaen enters the story. I don't really blame her so much as the dialogue she's given. It's really pretty awful and Pare's get's worse in all of his scenes with her. Even so, Instant Justice is worth a viewing if you're a Pare fan, which I am.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Marine seeks vengeance for sister's death at the hands of drug dealers in Madrid. Pare stars as a man who simply demands help instead of asking for it. B-grade in every department, the lone effort for writer/director/producer Craig Rumar. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious after a few pints, or when stone cold sober. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I really do hope that Michael Pare is ashamed of himself. I couldn't even finish this piece of garbage!
