THE DEATH MERCHANT is an indie thriller from 1991 which stars former Hollywood great Lawrence Tierney. The whole thing is shot on video, so it looks very poor indeed, and the story is a near plot less mess about the hunt for a stolen computer chip. The direction is so unremarkable that this is a literally point-and-shoot story. Characters are murdered, others recite some gangster-style dialogue, and it all adds up to one low budget mess of a film which is all but unwatchable.
