A whiskey stream of consciousness review.
As others have said, Tiana Alexandra-Silliphant's is adorable as an undercover narc. Her charisma takes a grade D movie and makes it watchable, Best lines of the film: "Federal agents do not kick people in the head" and "Now you give names or I give you a vagina." Pretty good stunt work in first main chase scene. Cinderella Poo is the cover name?! Lol. Recently seeing Raw Head Rex, pretty neat seeing David Dukes in another genre. Dudes haircut looks like a piece. Not as obvious as Rod Steiger of course. Second best line of the movie might be: "You no want to be cinderellas friend? Your loser not me!" This film has a lot of pretty good Grade A heavys IMO including Brian Thompson, John Hancock, and Brian Libby. Rod Steiger plays a pretty good main baddie, but sometimes moves through his scenes like oatmeal.
Any movie with Sub Zero (Professor Tory Tanaka) is a movie for me. The drug smuggling operation plot device has to be one of the most original I've seen. End sequence has a lot of cheese and unimpressive stunts and staging. Honestly with a better ending, this movie is a must see for 80s action fans. If only it had been handled like the first 2/3rds of the film. The final death scene, although subtle, works pretty well. Ultimately, Tiana's cuteness carries the day and makes it watchable. Enjoyed with a dram of Knob Creek Single Barrel. Cheers!
