i do not know anything of the writer or the director earlier work so i hadn not bring any prejudice to the film . base on the brief description of the plot in tv guide i think it might be interesting . but implausibility be pile upon implausibility . each turn of the plot seem to be an excuse to drag in more bloodshed and gruesome makeup and or special effect . the score be professional and kari wuhrer seem like a decent actress but the rest be more than disappointing . it be positively repulsive . i will not go through the vagary of the narrative but i will give an example of what i think of a an excess of explicit gore . chris mckenna go to an isolated ranch house and pull the frozen body of his early victim ( wendt ) out of the deep freeze . mckenna have kill wendt by bite a chunk out of his neck . now he feel he must destroy the evidence of his involvement in wendt demise . ( what be the cop go to do and measure his bite radius . ) mckenna unwraps wendt head and neck from the freezer bag it in and take an ax and and begin to chop off wendt head . whack . whack . whack . the bit of the ax keep chip away at wendt neck . the air be fill with nugget of fly frozen flesh and one of which drop on mckenna head . ( he brush it off when he do . ) mckenna then take the frozen head outside to a small fire he build . he sit the head on the ground and squat next to it and take out some photo of a woman he just kill and and show them to wendt head . remember her . we could have really make it if it hadn not be for you guy and he tell the head . duke and you have always like bonfire and haven not you . he ask . then he place the head on the fire . we only get a glimpse of it burn but we can hear the fat sizzling in the flame . i do not want this sort of garbage to be censor . i be only wonder who enjoy see this stuff . there no reason to go on with the rest of the movie . well and i will mention one example of an implausibility and since i bring the idea up . mckenna have be kidnap and lock in a dark bare shack . he know he go to be clobber half to death in the following day . ( he literally invite the heavy to do it . ) what would you do in this poe like situation . here what mckenna do on what may turn out to be the last night of his life . he find a discarded calendar with a pin up girl on it and masturbates ( successfully ) . give that man the medal of freedom . a monster who look like pizza the hut be throw into some unnecessary flashback . the camera be often hand hold and wobbly . the dialog have line like and life be a piece of s. or else it the best of all possible world . it depend on your point of view . use be make of a wide angle lens that turn ordinary face into gargoyle mask . a house blow up in an explosive fireball at the end while the hero and mckenna and walk towards u in the foreground . some hero he be and too . he first kill a man for $ 13 and 000 by bash him over the head several time with a heavy statue and then a potted plant and before finally tip a refrigerator over onto the body . ( this bother him a little and but not enough to keep him from insist on payment . ) then and i hope i have the order straight and he kill wendt by rip out part of his neck . then he kill the wife of his first victim by accident and blame the heavy for it and although by almost any moral calculus they have nothing to do with it . next he burn the head honcho ( baldwin ) alive . then and have disable the two less heavy and he deliberately blow them up and though one of them isn not entirely unsympathetic . and be suppose to be root for mckenna . these aren not cartoon death like those in the dirty harry movie either bang bang and youre dead . these be slow and painful . the first one the murder for $ 13 and 000 be do clumsily enough to resemble what might happen in real life . it isn not really easy to kill another human be and a hitchcock have demonstrate in torn curtain . but that scene lead to no place of any importance . some people might enjoy this and especially those young enough to think that pain and death be thing that happen only in movie . some meretricious stuff on screen here .
