July Recommendation: Jaws

 

                                       The weekend of July 21st through July 22nd was without a doubt one of the best weekends of movie watching for me. First it was going to Oppenheimer in the theaters which was a blast from start to finish then on a Saturday I decided to take my Mom and my Dad to go see the one movie that made Steven Spielberg a house hold name, Jaws for which was being seen at the local IMAX in my hometown of Hastings, Nebraska and when I first heard that Jaws was being premiered I was like "Mom, Dad we're going to see Jaws" and no doubt it's been a while for them seeing the film moreover the same goes to me. Though here's the thing, I remember watching Jaws. I know how the movie begins and ends but I am not going to lie this was the first time ever that I was terrified by a mechanical shark. Though either way I had a movie worthy of a July Recommendation but that whole IMAX experience of Jaws was without a doubt worthy of a Recommendation in the month of July. 

                                       When a young woman is killed by a shark, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist’s revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and a grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. nature. 

                                       Now I'll say this again in case I haven't, I have been familiar with Jaws ever since I've been collecting movies and DVD's or Blu-Ray's. So, after watching the Indiana Jones Trilogy growing up, I wanted to experience more of George Lucas's films though more of Star Wars, but I also wanted to experience more of Steven Spielberg's films and that's were Jaws came in, during a teen growing up it was really all about George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, so I was watching a good portion of their films including Jaws. So, yes, I've seen Jaws. I’ve watched it a bunch of times and know how the story begins and how the shark dies, but granted it's been quite a long time since I've sat down and watched Jaws from start to finish. So, deep down I never knew what I was going to expect when watching Jaws at the IMAX, but there is a huge difference between watching the film at you're home screen and watching it at the IMAX theater, home TV you just love it for the acting and the suspense but the IMAX theater you begin to realize how scary the mechanical shark really is and it isn't just the shark but it was also the little details that I somewhat ignore when you watch it on home video, but then you really get to see how terrifying it was to see from the missing dog and even watching the kid get attack is just terrifying that the way they shot it just became scary for me. The fact that this film only cost nine million dollars to make is even more interesting, because the big bucks came with developing the shark and finding the town but also had to deal with finding the right cast and sure finding Richard Dreyfuss was easy because two years before he was in Lucas's small film American Graffiti but like legendary actors like Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw, and even Shaw wasn't sure of excepting the role because he didn't like the book but was persuade by his wife, which shows that listening to your wife is always a wise advice to have. Both Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss are both great actors in the movie and they both have such great chemistry one's the so called nerd and one whose the cop seeking advice from Dreyfuss's character who knows more but have's a better opinion, and again they both are great but Robert Shaw hands down steals the whole movie, I mean he does such a tremendous job playing a fisherman who knows he's an outsider but knows that he can catch the shark moreover is confident furthermore like a mad caption who will stop at nothing to kill the shark, and really what makes Shaw so great is his tremendous monologue of how he survived the demise of the U.S.S Indianapolis and the thing I found fascinating was that Shaw was a real life playwright at the time and he took what Carl Gottieb and Peter Brenchley's screenplay and make a memorable story that provides great horror and how soldiers survived the waters after being sunk by Japanese submarines, for which includes shark infested waters and the way he describes it is just terrifying and more importantly Spielberg is focusing on Shaw's face and he's painting an image of what happened through words. Even Dreyfuss in that scene admits that he wasn't even acting at that point he was just in awe of Shaw's acting in that one scene. The way Spielberg was able to film the third act of the film is just great film making at its finest because it's simply just three men in one boat with nothing but water and one shark which is a battle of wits between man and shark and who was going to crack, because when you watch it both of these men are getting on each other's nerves and it feels like it's going a to be a terrifying span of madness along with the isolation for which reminds me a lot about my time when I was stuck in my apartment three years ago, and especially when the shark finally reveals itself is just scary but pure genius as well especially when the shark tears up the boat then it gets even more suspenseful till the final showdown and how Spielberg was able to pull that off is just amazing. Without a doubt Jaws is the GOAT of all Shark films out there, and the fact that they more sequels is just obscured like you had great talents of directors coming out in the late seventies is just why of all things you needed to make more movies after Jaws, I mean Universal Studio's must of really been desperate in terms of money because sure some of the movies Universal released but I guess nothing compared to the original Jaws. Going to Jaws at the IMAX was defiantly the greatest call I've ever made moreover worthy of a July recommendation because it's been a long time since I've seen it and IMAX really makes a difference when it comes to being terrified on screen then on home television. So, if you haven't seen Jaws in a long time then I would highly recommend watching Jaws because you'll experience some of these little details that I can't describe but you defiantly will have a great experience reliving this 48-year-old horror treasure.

                                            

Oppenheimer

 

                                         Finally in the entire year of 2023, I got the chance and finally went to the right movie to watch, moreover spent my money in a GOOD way possible. Now, before you say anything or comment or whatever, no I did not go see Barbie so suck on that social media and Hollywood, and I got news for all of you, the women of the world moreover the feminist movement don't need me to go see that movie because after I came out, there was a whole group of women in Pink so, deep down Barbie will be just fine not taking my money. Although if there was one man, I would give all my money too in terms of going to the movie theater it’s without a doubt Christopher Nolan. For which leads us to Nolan's latest movie release Oppenheimer, and of course the movie tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer the man who created the ultimate weapon that ended WWII. Staring Cillian Murphy in what might hopefully be the role that finally gives him the Academy Award.

                                        During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Graves Jr. (Matt Damon) appoints physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer and a team of scientists spent years developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their work comes to fruition on July 16th, 1945, as they witness the world's first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history. 

                                         Now I believe that if you've read my reviews or some of my taste in films, you should figure out by now that Christopher Nolan was and is one of my few favorite directors of all time, and I'm not going to deny that, hell the man brought back Batman to character he was when it comes to movies. But more importantly even when it comes to the Dark Knight Trilogy combined, he always comes out with something fresh and something new, he isn't like Steven Spielberg who became a sellout after remaking West Side Story though in all fairness the man did kind of lost his way. Though when it comes to Nolan he always comes up with something new and different concepts that I as a lover towards film I have to go and see and sure one out of his three science fiction films granted where a little on the, off center but you can't deny that when it comes to making movies, Nolan is always coming out with something new, I mean when it comes to finding out what his next project is, I'm always looking forward to seeing at the movie theaters. Now, when it comes to the movie alone, honestly, I had no idea what I was going to see especially when it comes to a biopic by Nolan and usually when it comes to biopic's there always simple, telling the life and story of this one person from birth to the man or woman's death. Although when it comes to Oppenheimer it's like something I've never seen, granted I never knew a whole lot about Oppenheimer other then he built the atomic bomb, but what I love about the film is that he really tells it thew first person of Oppenheimer's mind like were experiencing his life story through what he sees in life and the fact that I don't know a whole lot about the father of the atomic bomb even makes the movie better for me. On the other aspect of the film that even I hadn't thought of especially that the Manhattan Project was such a secretive project furthermore the most dangerous weapon ever created that no one would be trusted especially when you have a group of scientists who you may never know if they betray you and go to the enemy more importantly that Oppenheimer was creating a weapon that could have the possibility of ending mankind that's just a whole lot of worried but could also change the course of history. So, in all actuality the movie itself didn't feel like a typical biopic but more of a film that has both espionage and a lot political stabbing in the back, so this was more than your average biopic. Even Nolan wanted to tell this story though Oppenheimer's perspective as he wanted the narrative to be conveyed from his viewpoint and describe the "texture" of the film being "how the personal interacts with the historic and the geopolitical" with the intention of making it a cautionary tale. Moreover, the primary theme to the movie that Nolan wanted to tell is dealing with the consequences of Oppenheimer's actions and I personally believe that's in interesting thing to explore especially when we're telling the story of one of the most brilliant minds in American History. The other thing that he does so well was the direction as well and that's what makes great is that Nolan always collaborates with some great director of photographers, great example Wally Pfister with the Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception, and with his latest collaborator Hoyte van Hoytema whose another great cinematographer moreover this is his fourth collaboration with Nolan and thing I find fascinating with the Nolan/van Hoytema is that every scene looks like a painting and though the course of the movie I just could not take my eyes off of the screen because I'm seeing something beautiful and with such mesmerizing feel to it, that these guys do great work when it comes to these historic films. Another one that needs great recognition is music composer Ludwig Goransson who compose great iconic work when it comes to Star Wars shows like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and really if Nolan can use a musical talent like Goransson and that he did with Tenet you know that the music is going to be spectacular. The cast is simply outstanding moreover hands down one of the best ensembles cast ever assembled on screen, both Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. are such great character actors that there's no way that they should both win Academy Awards in the acting category, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon are spectacular as always and the same goes to Florence Pugh who's mysterious and sexy in the movie. But really there's more actors that deserve recognition not just the main cast, and seeing whose in the film it's like Nolan's greatest hits of actors with a bit of surprises that I never expected, but before we get to that Tom Conti who plays Albert Einstein really does such a good job in the movie embodying Einstein in terms of body language and his presence that it's just great casting when it comes to bringing Einstein to life. Josh Hartnett who plays Oppenheimer's collaborators, who I was like "Holy Crap Josh Hartnett"? But there's also Jason Clarke who makes a small appearance as one of the judges who is accusing Murphy, Casey Affleck which I was a surprise to see at first but then there's also Kenneth Branagh who plays one of Murphy's mentors, but the biggest surprise I found out and should get some recognition is Commissioner Gordon himself Gary Oldman who plays Harry S. Truman for which I had no clue till I browse through the Wikipedia page though I did see a strange resemblance of Gary but didn't think much of it, but holy crap Oldman is like the master of disguise I mean it's like he can just make a surprise appearance in almost everything. If there was any minor complaint I can say about the film is probably the overpowering of the music over the dialogue and yes I can understand what's going on and what was said but then there were times I felt like the music was overpowering the dialogue for which was the same problem when it came to Dunkirk, furthermore I have no idea why or what's the problem I mean sure the film was shot in IMAX and maybe regular movie theaters aren't capable to IMAX films either way yes it's a bit of a problem though Nolan should get that fix with his next film. Without a doubt, one of the best films of 2023 and I would highly recommend going to the theaters and experiencing this cinematic masterpiece and hopefully a contender for best picture at the Oscar's. 

                  

                                            

White Men Can't Jump (2023)

 

                                   So, after watching the original White Men can't Jump for which lead to a complicated view in terms of how I felt about the movie. I decided to watch the remake of White Men can't Jump, for many reasons I screened the film early while looking after a client for my brother, though thinking it wasn't that bad even though I watched bits and pieces of it I decided to give this movie a chance. And as strange as everyone will say that this movie obviously suck, but I really didn't think this movie was bad at all, for many other reasons I look back on watching the original movie having some in depth views on what I liked about the movie and what I didn't like about the movie and with this movie alone there's probably one thing they did right about the movie and maybe somethings they got wrong with the movie but let's be honest the original film I had mixed feelings by the end of the movie.

                                    Like the original film, though it centers around two men from opposites sides of the ball both men whose career paths to a sharp left turn but then decide to play the game they love and to recover a dream each left behind.

                                    Now I'm not saying that the latest version of White Men can't Jump is better than the original, if you're a huge fan of the original I applaud you for liking it. I personally that the story of the 2023 version was way better than the original movie, because the original set things up when I watched the trailer both men are hustlers they decide to work together to get bigger money for a big tournament then they begin to hustle one another through the course of the movie well Wesley Snipes does, which doesn't make sense to me the first time because weren't you guys suppose raise the money for the entry fee? For which yeah the entire message was to not trust another hustler but at least do that by end of the movie for which hell I don't know in all honesty, then you got Woody Harrleson who doesn't learn a lesson then hustles his own money away to Snipes again which again I honestly don't know, especially when you have a girl like Rosie Perez who in that movie to me was a ten out of ten and Harrleson still doesn't learn from his mistakes for which again is fine because deep down the film alone is a definitive bro's before hoes type film, but it's just some of these elements in the story that Shelton portrays that reminds me of Bull Durham where the movie is great from act one to act two then act three is like meh. As, for the remake's story it's very simple, both men who've lost their ways in life and the two of them become friends till the very end and both of them learn there lesson's moreover, guys when you're dating a girl that's a ten out of ten make her happy from the first time you lay eye's on her till the very end because you're never going to find a woman as beautiful as ever. Now in terms of Basketball play the original movie still holds up then the remake although the basketball play in this remake wasn't all bad it was okay, but the original films play was no doubt up there because you believe that Snipes and Harrelson was great players, though I should say Sinqua Walls who plays the Snipes like character does look like a basketball player and plays well in the film. Now to be fair the casting wasn't all bad, though looking at some of the production notes of the film I've learned the casting they we're close to casting basketball star Blake Griffin and NFL player Ryan Kalil, though yeah I don't know if casting an football player to play a basketball player would be a great idea but the idea of casting some basketball stars in this movie, that should of been a good way to approach a remake like White Men can't Jump, like why don't cast some NBA stars in a movie like this? Hell, I would love to see James Harden's acting chop's I mean I loved his performance in a Madden commercial he did moreover there's a ton of white NBA stars in the league so you'll no doubt find some players as well, in which they didn't so it doesn't really matter. Again, comparing each of these films is like a flip of the coin, like are they the best Basketball films combined hell no. Though each of these movies have a much better aspect than the others, each movie is good in their own way. As for a recommendation, I mean go ahead if you're part of the younger generation but for me it's a decent film to watch like a dumb but harmless type film, when your tired from work and want to pop in a film but really, I don't think it, worthy for a definitive recommendation and yet neither is the original movie. Although it is on Hulu, so if you have a subscription to Hulu, it's free to watch so in all fairness that's a win, win. 

   

                                      

Tekken

 

                                    A bunch of friends and myself decided to watch a B-movie that I've heard of but never played the game to and yes, this movie is in fact based on a game. Though I do need to explain this much into detail, it was one of those conversations about what was the best fighting game and let's be honest I obliviously said that it was Mortal Kombat no contest, but the other guy says Tekken, and to make this long story short I blurted out that the franchise has a movie adaption for which the guy asks so many questions then proceeds to say that we need to watch it because he wants me and the rest of the guys to see him gripe about how bad the movie is. And to be honest I never played the Tekken games, nor much feel the need to play mainly because I've seen glimpses of it through trailers and it reminds me of Street Fighter now, which looks way to ridiculous sorry not sorry I'm not big into Japanese Anime, hell you're looking at a grown man who thought Pokemon was strange, growing up. Now I'll admit I know nothing of the Tekken franchise or the world but having watched this dumb but harmless movie I mostly dig the movie because it reminds me of Gladiator, Rocky and just a kiss of Hunger Games. For which we have all the time in the world to talk about right now.

                                  In the not-too-distant future, the world wars have destroyed everything, and continents are run by corporations, the mightiest of which is Tekken. Amid the ruin of the ruined society one warrior rises from the streets. 

                                  How I discovered this film is really a mystery of itself, in all truth I think I was first learning from Google movies that I can purchase some movies and shows furthermore started liking Google Phones more I found this movie and in all honesty I didn't expect much from it and realized that it wasn't all that bad as I predict, and this film has a zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes for which I find to be insane because I've seen the absolute worst from Uwe Boll's films like Alone in the Dark and BloodRayne to Southland Tales and those were garbage compared to this movie. For which I found strange because I would think that this movie would have a wider release since the game series is so popular until I finally realized that this film was basically a direct-to-video for which basically says that it had a small release maybe two to three theaters and then just went to DVD, and then was just a lost movie. Why I kind of liked the movie or considered it a guilty pleasure is that it does no doubt remind me of movies like Gladiator and Rocky, also has a much better concept than Hunger Games, sadly the film just shot itself in the foot with bird shot pellets and you're hunting friends laughing at you for how stupid you are but complements you for not almost killing someone like Dick Cheney did when he had bird shot in his shotgun. What I like about the movie in truth is that it has the potential of being good and I've said that about other movies before, though this one has that potential of what I could of done better if I made this film, though I have no interest in resurrecting this film but let’s say that I did I would first make this film at least a good two hours max, this film was ninety minutes long and you didn't have any time to get to know the characters nor understand the post-apocalyptic world that is Tekken or if it is? And really this film had a thirty million dollar budget and from the way I see it, they used it a lot on the set design's for which I have no complaint especially when it comes to the arena where the fighting takes place but really you can use a lot of time to establish the characters and the chemistry not just throw them in and say this is the world enjoy and then just run off like you're in trouble. Hell, after watching the film again I'm starting to believe that the writers did some heavy-duty partying and realized they had a deadline for the day after they we're done partying and had to write it as fast as possible and just gave it to the producers and said that was it. The director of the movie Dwight Little had some experience in action genre with movies like Marked for Death with Steven Seagal and Rapid Fire staring Brandon Lee aka Bruce Lee's son, unfortunately when I look at the guys entire career he made a lot of those mainstream films like Halloween 4 and Free Willy 2 that were mostly forgotten, and really for a guy who studied at USC moreover had some experience in Action movies I would imagine that he can give this movie an upgrade but I guess was just cashing a check, which explains a lot because he didn't do anything in terms of establishing character development or understand the world of Tekken moreover yes, you can say that the writer was at fault to but he was also writer of Little's other work so I'm guessing he just read the rough draft and then said it's good I'm going to get this movie made. And again, this movie had a thirty-million-dollar budget so you can defiantly turn this movie into a 90's Mortal Kombat film with great fight sequences and mediocre acting and story. Although, they decided not to do that which makes no sense though let’s be honest the more you think about it the more you go insane so I'm just going to leave it at that. The set design of the whole film was really the best part of the whole movie because it does have that futuristic feel and has that look of what would the world be like if corporations took over the world and devised a gladiatorial tournament because let’s be honest Disney, Apple Microsoft, and Amazon are going to be that very corporations that will consume the world, and that's how the world will crumble. The film was shot in Shreveport, Louisiana which is a surprise to me because the entire movie didn't feel like it was in Louisiana for obvious reasons it looks like it was shot on a stage set. I'll say it again the movie had that potential of being a good unfortunately it just shot itself in the foot and to me that's what I kind of liked about the movie is that you can think to yourself as to what you can do better, now would I recommend everyone else to watch it absolutely not because deep down we all have our own guilty pleasures and this movie I would prefer not to have everyone watch, especially when you have the ladies in leather pants with a** cleavage like their pro wrestlers. As for the video game series of Tekken, I do have the first game downloaded on my PS3 so, I might give the game a try but for the rest I honestly can't because it's just like the new generation of Street Fighter where I can't really accept as awesome furthermore I can just stick to playing the first game after watching the movie whole in all fairness. Now that I've finally watched this film and reviewed it for all of you, I've decided to finally put this movie back in the dirtiest part of my closet.

                  

Movies I haven't seen in a While: Tommy Boy

 

                                        Weekend begins, haven't hung out with my brother in a while so, what better way to have a movie night with him in the kids. Although it was just one kid then left to go home, and the movie my brother picked out was a movie I haven't seen in quite a longtime titled Tommy Boy, starring the late Chris Farley and David Spade. Now, Tommy Boy was no doubt a movie I haven't seen in ages I was a little not sure if I was going to enjoy this movie as I remember growing up and sadly this fun to watch from start to finish, but just wasn't as good as I remember it really felt like you’re going to a family reunion and you just realize that you really don't like your cousins and want to get out of there fast but the problem is you're parents drove you to the reunion and they have the keys to the car. But all aside the movie was kind of a nice breath of fresh air that you can only watch once.

                                       After his beloved father dies, dimwitted Tommy Callahan (Chris Farley) inherits a near-bankrupt automobile parts factory in Sandusky, Ohio. His brand-new stepmother, Beverly (Bo Derek), wants to cash out and close, but Tommy's sentimental attachment to his father's employees spurs him to make one last-ditch effort to find someone who will buy their products. With his father's tightly wound assistant, Richard (David Spade), in tow, Tommy hits the road to scare up some new clients.

                                       Most movies I do remember watching I have very bad memory of like To Kill a Mockingbird or Wild Hearts can't be Broken, and yet Tommy Boy I remember very well, as well as the partial nudity that occurred which yeah sure it's a guy thing but come one who doesn't remember your first time watching a movie that contains partial nude ladies? In truth, this movie wasn't all bad as I remember granted it's not as horrible than watching a Adam Sandler movie, it really has to do with the jokes that go with the film, like if you're a kid in the nineties watching this movie and you we're laughing your butt off of Chris Farley being a deranged maniac of course that was without a doubt the funniest thing because I've always loved watching the hidden camera skit on Saturday Night Live it's always funny just because of the man's reaction in hearing that his coffee was a lie, but him just being an obnoxiously dumb ass it's like I feel like I've seen that so many times moreover that whole story telling of the protagonist being dumb just doesn't seem funny anymore. Both Chris Farley and David Spade, really did an okay job when it comes to on screen chemistry like some of their jokes are on the small chuckle as of funny no doubt and then some of their joke to me are just little on the eh it's not on the funny side more like this joke really haven't aged in a long time. I even found Dan Aykroyd's performance in the movie, really on the lackluster side of it, hell I'm convinced that he just gave up on comedy and it doesn't add up because this movie came out in 95, furthermore after that he starred in Celtic Pride another one of those films that literally shot itself in the balls. I completely forgot that young Rob Lowe was in the movie, which was like a big surprised because I have no memory of seeing Lowe for the first time in the film. In fairness the only jokes I find hilarious is when both Lowe and Spade are mocking Farley in their few scenes when they're acting across Farley because it's literally the truth of Farley's character. I'll give this movie credit that it was simply a breath of fresh air to watch for the first time in ages, the movie alone yes, wasn't as good as I remember it all because the jokes just feel flat but deep down the movie wasn't all bad moreover it wasn't the worst thing I've seen because Adam Sandler still to this day continues to write comedies and yet refuses to become original as well as making new jokes, so there's that at least. The movie itself is a nice watch from start to finish have no complaints, if you’re a kid from the nineties who remember Chris Farley growing up, I would recommend watching it but for warn you that it's not going to be as good as you remember it, though I'd still watch it anyway in case your extremely tired from work.

         

Raw Justice

 

                                    When you're trying to find movies to watch and feel like you’re burnt out for some reason well, I guess to me this was when Tubi comes into play. Moreover, it's also when I found more movies Baywatch Star Pamela Anderson's filmography and more only was that she did a lot of movies besides Barb Wire where she shows off a lot of nudity before her scandalous sex tape came out in 95. And granted no doubt Pamela Anderson was the ultimate babe of the 90's no doubt about it but she's now reached the age where she comes out of a documentary of her being victimized and yet this woman has been on the cover of more over posing nude for Playboy fourteen times and a hundred times internationally as what I've been hearing in terms of research wise. Although this latest movie I decide to watch that she gracefully posed for two sex scenes is called Raw Justice/Good Cop Bad Cop, the movie has many names, but it also Stars actors David Keith aka Jack Parkman and Robert Hays aka Ted Striker.

                                    The mayor of a small town hires a bounty hunter (Jack Parkman) to find his daughter's killer, but it turns out to be a dangerous job.

                                    Now I'll say again yes, in the 90's Pamela Anderson was the ultimate blonde babe that every guy in the world would want to be with moreover wanted to look at 24/7, and now when she's coming out with documentaries telling that she never owned her body and society never took her seriously or God knows what, but here's the thing once you appear on Playboy four maybe five times and staring in a show wear you're wearing nothing but a swimsuit and bikini. You're basically painting a target on your own back, and everyone is going to want a piece of you moreover when you’re in shows like Baywatch no one is going to take you seriously and this woman was in a grand total of fourteen covers of playboy and I'm sorry that she had a traumatizing childhood but when you talk about never owning, you're own body, you're basically full of sh*t. Now that being said from the movie alone, yes, I was watching the movie just to show how full of sh*t Pamela was, but that all became a distraction because I was just at awed of how badly entertaining it was from the bad camera techniques to the typical cheap action sequences it was just OMG this is awesome but damn I feel bad for the two actors in the movie. Speaking of actors David Keith who was most famously known in Major League 2 as the villain to Charlie Sheen, is the actual star in the movie plays a renegade cop who when you first see him goes drag and chasing a bail jumper which is funny because how is he able to run high heel boots? While Robert Hays when he meets up with Keith's character he runs for dear life and they have a motor cross chase through a shopping mall where you can defiantly tell that the mall is closed or barely opened but yet shut down and it's so hilariously bad but just sad on so many levels because when you're an actor in a B-movie action film like this you'd just think to yourself good lord this sucks. But is still a breath of fresh air because sometimes watching comedies just doesn't do the job well and movies like this just kind of have that good laugh that makes you feel better on the inside. As a standalone movie all by itself it's just so bad but has that unintentional comedic value that you can't get enough of it, plus when you finish one of Pamela's documentaries on Netflix (which I've never watched honest to God) and then watch this you just must laugh on the inside because you finally realized how BS, Miss. Anderson is. Though as entertainingly bad it is you only must watch it once every other time you feel like watching entertaining B-movies.
