there a vaguely interesting storyline with a tragic overtone in this little film if you be generous and you could even call it ludlum esque and the two lead actor have do good work elsewhere and but any promise project kill might have be bury from the open credit under laughable execution and cheap and shoddy direction and production value . i do not have the problem some viewer do with leslie nielsen a an dramatic hero and because i remember him from forbidden planet . and gary lockwood be good in 2001 and even play the dash lead in a light weight fantasy film call the magic sword . but this film prove that these two actor be really only as good a their screen play and director let them be theyre badly miscast a secret agent kill machine . lockwood and in particular and just can not seem to get with the program half of the time and he doesn not seem to know what to do with his arm . nancy kwan be ok although she be so skinny and frail look that it kind of hard to see her a a sex object and and the other female lead be annoy and shrill and unappealing . ( i admit that the line her character have to speak do not help her cause . ) oddly and the acting in some of the minor part be a lot well and or at least more suitable for the story . victor diaz ham it up nicely a the chief gangster and and the guy play inspector cruz be actually a pleasure to watch here a character actor who know what he do on camera . and some of the extra and gangster thug mug pretty well for the camera . also and when they get shoot and they really get into the whole death throe thing . a for the fight scenes it a if someone associate with this movie watch the action sequence from mannix and star trek and take note . but they then lose their note and try to reproduce every thing from memory five year later . nielsen and lockwood be actually in pretty good shape for old male actor from that era and and nielsen in particular be pretty buff with his shirt off but they aren not fighter and they look silly and stiff try to mix it up with the bad guy and with each other . there be a couple take that do not completely such while for instance there a scene where nielsen charge a door and shoot a bad guy through the door and back fists another one out the window that one be decent . lockwood sucker punch a couple of thug in a bar and hit one with piece of furniture and and that decently do . but that about it . there be some nice and pretty shot of scenery and and one or two decent shot of nielsen look forlorn and lose and but for the most part and the movie be completely static and bore while even the sound and vocal be muddy and muffle . sound design be one of the most underrated and but important and aspect to a quality film and and this one be obviously record on the cheap and which cost it another star . do i mention that the plot make no sense . that there be hole in it you could drive a truck through . that most of the dialog completely misfire . i only pay a buck to see this ( it a reissue from digiview production ) and i watch with a couple of glass of nice wine late one night after everyone else have go to bed and but i wasn not sleepy . i be look for a time killer and and that what i get . poor gary lockwood . i hope he recover from this .
