Just surfing the net one day, I came across this movie on Youtube. I noticed it started Christopher Reeve before he had his accident, so I gave it a watch. As a TV Movie, I think Reeve should have won an Emmy or Golden Globe for his best portrayal I've seen him in. Reeve lights the screen on fire, making this the most exciting movie of the year.
Reeve plays a well-respected and talented cop who is shot during a drug bust leaving him a paraplegic. Coincidentally, just days before (or maybe after) the movie's release became a quadriplegic in real life. Reeve suspects his wife is cheating on him with his brother and vows revenge by any means, not caring about his condition.
There's only a few actors who are capable of giving a real evil stare that's truly scary. Al Pacino and Kevin Spacey are great examples. Christopher Reeve, with his piercing blue eyes that look through people, is at the same level of Pacino and Spacey. I really wish Reeve more blockbusters to showcase his acting talent and get the praise he deserves.
4/4
