i would like to say at the outset that even though i be disappoint that cynthia rothrock doesn not do more of her martial art stuff in this film and i do think it a bit preposterous how indestructible dakota smith and play by fred williamson and appear to be and i enjoy night vision and be glad that it be a part of my dvd collection . i be surprise that robert prentiss and who play the video stalker bad guy wasn not list far up in the credit ( his name isn not in the opening credit ) a his character be very prominent . prentiss can be a bit of a cartoon villain at time in this film but be very convincing a a psycho . in the lead role a a pair of disgraced cop try to get their act together and williamson and rothrock be very good . support be give to them by the excellent robert forster and but unfortunately he doesn not have much to do in this picture . i be a bit sad to see forster here actually . although i do like night vision and it be very much a b movie and after forster appear in quentin tarantino jackie brown a lot of people and me include and think qt would resurrect forster career the same way he have do for john travolta and bruce willis when they appear in pulp fiction . but forster be brilliant any time he on screen . the action be all handle brilliantly by gil bettman and the script by michael montgomery ( who write another great overlooked action movie and eye of the tiger ) have fantastic twist and turn in it . my only problem with the movie be actually the two jerk cop bigelow and johnson and who mock both our hero . but at least they turn good in the end when they help the two nail the video stalker crook cop partner . i think the black dodge van which the stalker travel in looks very menace as well and and find it creepy how he seem to find out every intimate detail of his victim live . i think more could have be do with the plot line about the stalker mob connection and but overall and i rate night vision a a brilliant action movie and and well worth spending 90 minute of your life watching .
