David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...packed with an absurd amount of action movie clichs, to the point where the film occasionally feels like it's operating on the level of parody. Rated: 2/4 Dec 18, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Actor Sergio Kato appear in this film. 1986 IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1415992/ Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review dave j Friday, December 9, 2011 (2002) Power Play ACTION Low budget copy of "Live Free Die Hard" about eco-terrorists going after Americas electrical resources. Alot of poorly staged unconvincing fights and uninspired gun battles starring Dylan Walsh of Nip/Tuck as a news reporter! 1/2 out of 4 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member wow is terrible..... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member way too predictable, too many people doing stupid things, not enough cool science to redeem it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member [url="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1130465-power_play/dvd.php?select=1"][img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/93/223093.jpg[/img][/url] A reporter digs into a corrupt big business and they go after him is most of the story. A line from the movie,[i] "I'll be in Mexico tomorrow, meet me there."[/i] And then he hung up. Ummmm.... Mexico is a big place lol. Is he just going to wonder around until he finds his connection? It's an example of much of the movie. The story is interesting but it has a lot of '70's cop show action.... you know, the kind where the guys are just a few feet away shooting and can't hit anything, and the police never come to find out why there are guys shooting all over the place. There is much better out there to watch. Don't waste your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
