Overdrive (1998)

Posted on November 9, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Steve Guttenberg is back in the action hero mould and the plot of Overdrive is as scant as it is interesting. If it’s action, car chases and sizzling sex you crave… look elsewhere.

Night Killer (1990)

Posted on October 20, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Night Killer is pretty bad. It is a laugh for a bunch of friends to sit and make fun off, however, there are some frustratingly painful decisions made to keep the story going.

Nightmare Beach (1989)

Posted on August 17, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Nightmare Beach doesn’t challenge or make any attempts to be a classic. It does manage to deliver the goods one looks for in 80’s slashers, scantily clad ladies, blood and a light whodunit.

No Contest II (1996)

Posted on July 27, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Some say Shannon Tweed action sequel No Contest II (or Face of Evil) (1996) is better than the first film. Could it be true?

Land of Doom (1987)

La morte risale a ieri sera (1970)

Death occurred last night a (slightly flawed) police procedural with a collection of fantastic performances. There are some unique ideas, adult themes and fun moments throughout.

No Contest (1995)

Posted on June 22, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

You know what? No Contest is okay. Sure it’s a very blatant in taking it’s inspiration from Die Hard but scratches the itch and does a few things rather well that honestly surprised me.

Mean Tricks (1992)

Posted on June 15, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Mean Tricks has the prospect of Napier playing a tough, hard drinking cop with a plot involving prostitute rings and directed by Umberto Lenzi, the opportunities for a trashy outing had never been higher.

Malibu Express (1985)

Posted on January 15, 2024March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

I expected Malibu Express to have glistening golden skin warmly drenched in sunlight, much like you might have in an episode of Baywatch. It does not.

Lethal Tender (1996)

Posted on December 10, 2022March 7, 2026 by garethmyles

Lethal Tender is a film that I am embarrassed to say I have seen several times. The first time, I dug it. Second I was a bit bored. Third was trash. Fourth…
