This is a real fun action movie with a very interesting story. It has lots of action but at the same time humor is sprinkled throughout so that it never takes itself too seriously like most of these type low budget action adventure films. Francesco Quinn is really good in the role of the sidekick to the lead actor Loren Avedon. He provides the comic relief to the weak acting of Avedon and steals every scene they have together which in itself is fun to watch. Brion James is also great as the comic book style instigator of all the twists and turns that occur throughout this very well written script that holds your interest from beginning to the surprises at the ending. There is only one female lead in this movie played by Lisa Crosato. She is also very good and I'd like to see more of her. Over all, in my opinion, I would recommend this movie as a good rental for an entertaining evening. It does not look like a low budget film in the production values just like the other film, "Dead Man's Run," I saw by this writer/director, Robert J. Hyatt. He seems to be able to take low budgets and make good looking quality films. At least with the two that I have seen.

What an interesting psychological thriller. I watched this movie twice to pick up on all the little nuances and hidden meanings that are cleverly interwoven into this unusual and completely entertaining screenplay. Without giving anything away I found it very refreshing that one of the two couples that are taken hostage by a psychotic killer is an inter-racial marriage, yet there is no mention of that and it is not a story point. It is just the way it is. Too bad we don't see this type of stuff in major studio films where everybody is so obviously paired off according to race unless it is some major exploitation racial issue. The cast is only five people and that could have turned out to be very boring except that excellently directed in this well written piece is an ensemble cast of great actors led by the ever so talented John Savage. I wonder if this film was ever entered into any of the film festivals because I would be very surprised if it did not win some awards. I would like to see more films by Robert J. Hyatt, the writer and director of this movie that I highly recommend.
