I'm a Frank Cannon fan, but this one is hard to watch. Frank seems unable to connect the dots in the beginning, with regards to a certain person who's been trying to take him out.
He starts off on a trek to the cabins and gets road raged- almost head on into an oncoming big rig, but ends up doing some off-roading in his sedan and gets stuck in the dirt. It was obviously instigated, and the perp even stops, making eye contact with Cannon.
But in the next scene, Frank has arrived to his destination and is greeted by an old friend who's the Host. His friend has advised him that he had heard on the radio that someone Cannon had put away several years earlier had escaped from the mental institution, and most likely looking to even the score. Frank walks off, seemingly unable to make a connection with the recent mishap on his journey there.
A scene or two later, Frank is checking his pistol before going to bed. Nothing unusual about that- we're use to seeing Frank ensuring he's prepared, but then we see him in a rowboat on a lake, being shot at by a psycho with rifle and scope, (doesn't even come close to hitting him), while Frank nonchalantly rows himself to shore and takes his time putting away his tackle. He's unarmed, btw. He left his pistol under his pillow ! D'oh
Then the psycho traps Frank, and Frank gives him permission to kill him.. ??? .. The offender relents, and wants to play cat and mouse.
Frank gets wounded while strolling through the grounds trying to get gas, and then a sheriffs helicopter comes to discover something is amiss..
The acting never seemed to come together- even Cindy Williams had a B performance.
It had the makings of an 8 pointer +, but unfortunately, it lacked wit and thought, and poor acting throughout.
.. Frank fly fishing with a torch on the end of his line into a tub of gas was probably the best moment.
