      Audience Member Despite the rating here this one is one more popular original films written and Directed by Jesse V. Johnson. Like many of his works it is a study of a flawed character in a violent world seeking some personal redemption. The film is a little longer than it needs to be. It looks like a Guy Ritchie film at parts. It has its good share of violence and sex. I like the actors and the supporting characters, especially Dominique Vandenberg, who would go on to star in a greta film. The Mercenary. I like Raymond Barry in the lead role; however, I don't like the character and that was toughest part for me. I am aficionado of Johnson's work and you must see this in his Library of films but I like The Butcher better as an older on and I loved The Beautiful Ones. This is good. Johnson is the master of making the most of a conservative budget. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Expected more, was a disapointment. Watched it because of Weatherly Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The Scenes In The Strip-Clubs Were About As Entertaining As It Got.. All The Rest Was A Try-Hard 'Dad Makes Good With Son' Story That Felt Totally Convoluted, Haphazard Hop-Har! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Holy fuck was this movie bad. Nothing about it was good. The acting was piss-poor, the directing was terrible, the action scenes were pure "amateur hour". I don't know what else there is to say. I have no idea how this movie ended up on my computer, but I watched it, and I will never get the time back that I wasted watching this piece of crap. DAMN YOU JESSE V JOHNSON! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Some of the minor characters do come off as wooden, but Barry and Weatherly bring their roles to gritty fruition admirably. Personally, I gave this movie an hour and a half of my time, and I was glad that I did. There are definitely scenes and sequences in this one that make it worth the watch and the main characters are engaging enough to keep you interested. For me, this movie was a bit of a diamond in the rough among a slew of straight to DVD stinkers that I'm most likely thankful I've already forgotten. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie. Decent. Cool, kinda funny, with good performance from Barry, and an interesting performance from NCIS's Weatherly. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
