A decent time killer
27 March 1999 | by (North Bay, Ontario) – See all my reviews

Although I found it to be an agreeable enough time-passer, there is nothing about this film that was particularly enjoyable, so I can't really recommend it. The action is brisk and the performances are good, but this film suffers from predictability and there was nothing especially clever in the script. It's basically just Pam Grier kicking butt for ninety minutes, and even though she does it rather well, a few twists and turns would have been nice. This is the kind of film that is reasonably fun to watch, but then quickly fades from memory once the credits are done.
