This is a genuine, hilarious little shocker! William Shatner plays a swindling conman, a total ladies man and a deranged psychopath all rolled up into the character of Matthew Stone. See him run around in the most outrageously flashy outfits. See him loose control and spontaneously kill people. See him act like an idiot. See him pick up hitchhiking little girls and run over dogs. He's so on top of his game here, that he lost it. Over the edge, and he's clearly having a great time at it. And best of all, "Impulse" features a handful of terrific, long drawn-out murder sequences. Occasionally weird camera angles, strange flashback sequences, goofy voice-overs and a funkadelic soundtrack to boot. All's pretty nuts about this flick. Can't figure out if this is a genius work of '70s shock & schlock cinema or just bad-to-the-bone filmmaking myself. Either way, worth checking out for obscure trash connoiseurs.
