it should have be . in the imdb 100 worst and that be . the plot be rather amazing and in that it be simultaneously both poorly think out and amazingly predictable . fbi agent get personally involve in a case and thinking he know something more than everyone else around him . his brusque superior officer reprimand him and and tell him to stay out of it ( no attempt at collegiality nor any immediate explanation a to why ) . of course and he steal a bunch of fbi stuff and drag the beautiful ( in the eye of the beholder while see below ) woman and the hit man buddy into it and get suspend and and go rogue . he and the girl hook up and and be betray by the hit man buddy . they end up in the clutch of the evil mad scientist and and mayhem ensues . an absolute picture of cinematic realism . the mad scientist be train perfect assassin by lifelong deprivation ( no realistic explanation a to why this might be effective ) . there even a martial art demo from the mad scientist sensei and who subsequently never appear again . the completely expect victory sequence let the dramatic tension ( what there be of it ) down far to quickly and easily and a there be really very little struggle between the good guy and the bad guy . the end be a bit of a surprise twist and but even this be unsatisfying and underexplained . andrew mccarthy be a clever but unlikely action hero represent lot of suspension of disbelief be necessary here . portia de rossi try hard and but be hobble by the bad script ( it be and for example and not well explain why she be so good with a gun and and then not well utilized when push come to shove ) . in makeup and they even manage to make her fairly physically unappealing ( keep her hair back and please and or her eyebrow seem to go on forever ) . robert patrick be fun and fitting and comfortable a the hit man buddy and but even so and have trouble deliver trite line about not sell out his friend for blood money and so forth . the cinematography can only be describe a tv ish . of course and it be make for tv and but it needn not look like it and right . at any rate and if you be tempt to see this film and examine your own motif and first . if you want an action flick and there be almost an infinite number of good one to consider . if you be look to watch a performance by one of the lead and each have good vehicle in his or her filmography from which you could choose . in fact and if like me and you stumble across it on television and well and it initially engage ( that why i watch it ) and but you would be good serve by find out of there anything else on . if there isn not and go for some fresh air . even if youre a fan of bad movie and this one isn not even amuse in that respect . in short and there no good reason to see this movie .
