So much bantering!  And of course shooting.  Lorenzo Lamas stars, directed, and produced.  Note that this is the last of the "Fifteen Movies" action collection, for this blog, since some are actually TV-movies, and two wouldn't play.

Forced to Kill

Uh, Dude, you wrote the
movie.  You had a choice.

Corey Michael Eubanks wrote and stars as a repo man who, I assume at some point, is forced to kill, and he's not a bad actor, but the direction by Russell Solberg is dreadful, including clumsy fight scenes.  Also, there's gratuitous sexism in the opening scene.  (The bartender tells a stale joke about his wife; the camera does a point-of-view of a man with a girlfriend ogling two female butts.)

Addison Randall wrote and directed this very low-budget movie that I would've given a lower rating if I didn't sort of like the cheesiness.  Things happen with almost no logic, one right after the other, apparently masterminded by a British businessman who likes to beat prostitutes to death.  Meanwhile, there are two cops, one stoic and white, the other black and emotional, and when I tuned out the black cop was eating a banana in an adult video store.  The feel of the movie is very late-'80s, but in a 976-commercial** kind of way.


*This film is American, but the only release date at IMDB is the straight-to-video date, this time in West Germany.
