Jimmy Vickers comes home from a generic war, to discover that his parents have been brutally murdered. This vexes Jimmy even more because his Mother was Emma Samms from Dynasty and The Colby's.
They were murdered because his dad got a little tasty when he drove into the middle of a robbery and accidentally killed one of the assailants....
So Jimmy goes all out bonkers and starts to plat grim reaper across the streets of London, practising his scowl for Eastenders.....
Whatever you think of Dyer, his movies have a dedicated following. And I must say, guiltily, that I am a fan of his movies. Not because they are good, a lot are abysmal, but you can get a good laugh from all the crassness surrounding his movies.
So I was surprised to find that this is a solid little thriller, and looks wonderful, the cinematography adds a depth to a cold London, especially on Blu Ray.
The performances though are what you expect. Dyer is as average as ever, but you wouldn't expect anything any different. He has a presence, but that's because the rest of the cast (Apart from McKee) are so stereotypical of these sort of films and demography.
The film is surprisingly violent, and some of the methods of Jimmy's vengeance are pretty wince inducing.
If you are a fan of Dyer, you will think that this is the best thing he's done in nearly ten years. If your not, the film looks great, and you can laugh at the silly ending, which looks like the film maker wants to turn it into a superhero franchise...
