Review of The Killing Zone

THE KILLING ZONE is a VERY cheap action thriller which is a far cry below even the kind of budget action flicks being put out by PM Entertainment during the era. The hero of the piece is a dumb blond muscle guy who was apparently a participant in the TV show GLADIATORS rather than an actor. He gets involved in the hunt for a Mexican drug lord and teams up with a maverick DEA agent to bring him down. There's some low rent action here, mainly involving a few fist fights and a shoot-out at the climax, but the whole thing is limited by the lack of money. The statuesque Melissa Moore plays the hero's girlfriend and, yes, she of course has a lengthy shower scene, a requisite for this genre at the time. Fans of the kind of cheesy junk encapsulated by SAMURAI COP might get a kick out of this.
