Martin B Chandler always a commanding presence and beautiful women in this one but yikes that was a horrible script. A murderer gets off Scott free, charges brought against Chandlers character with no witnesses and he’s set free based solely on his closing arguments where he basically admitted he screwed everything up. Not one piece of evidence corroborating the charges or refuting them by the defense either…..awful. A surprise murder at the end and the stars walk off as if nothing happened for the perfect silly ending to horrible writing. Watch it to find out how bad writing can betray a good cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review SICKS6SIX better that the average B film, worth watching, passes a wet afternoon away fairly well, Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/21/22 Full Review Read all reviews
