MAXIMUM IMPACT is a bizarre Russian comedy thriller, made with a rather distinguished cast (in the world of B-movies at least) and a sluggish, meandering storyline that does little more than join the dots between dialogue scenes. Sadly, the comedy is of the extremely quirky variety, and also happens to be excruciatingly unfunny, which lessens the enjoyability quite a bit. Cast-wise, we get an extremely hammy Mark Dacascos as the baddie, boring Russian heroes, and cameos from the likes of Danny Trejo, Bai Ling, Tom Arnold and more besides. Kelly Hu is one of the film's biggest assets and deserves better, and as for the green screen scenes - just no.
