I admit that this is not the best film of the month that I have watched. However, this isn't to bad of a show. Mark Hamill from Star Wars and Marc Singer from V the miniseries and the Beastmaster saga are a couple of federal agents who get assigned to protect a beautiful witness from a man who wants her dead. Its got it all, chase scenes, light T&A, witty banter between the male leads and a charming performance by Deborah Shelton, the films heroine. This is a tale of seduction, betrayal and murder. Give it a shot and you will not be disappointed.
WARNING! BEYOND THIS POINT LIES SPOILERS! Marc Singer and Mark Hamill are federal agents hot on the trail of international killer Degrillo (Michael Des Barret). The two agents are in the middle of a stakeout when their equipment accidentally receives a transmission from a nearby camera crew that is filming a TV show featuring the beautiful Alex Ramsey (Deborah Shelton). Gilbert Godfrey plays an irate director who is not happy with her creative input and just wants her to stop trying to be creative and just help him make a substandard television program that will be sandwiched between commercials. Unhappy with this situation she storms off to her trailer. Meanwhile, Degrillo finds the bug that has been placed in his room, he knows that his mistress has to have turned on him and our heroes race to save her. Cutting back to Alex as she sees the murder of the mistress and now becomes a witness to a crime that will finally be able to put this man away once and for all. When the agents report back to headquarters with their witness in hand, Marc Singer is dressed down for disobeying orders, and while the rest of the team is sent to catch the bad guy, they are tasked by their boss Schultz (Charles Napier) with protecting their witness until she can testify at trial.
Taking their witness to a remote cabin in the woods, the two agents do their best to keep Alex out of danger and out of view. This is not as easy as they hoped because she is very well known. Both the manager of the lodge and her newest employee, a buxom blond that instantly shows a serious interest in Mark Hamill, know her from her TV show where she plays a hard hitting female cop. An already difficult job is made harder with their charge not being happy with the setup of the room or the quality of the food.
Slowly, she does warm up to her protectors, as she realizes that this is not just another job to them, and that they are concerned with her safety and prove that no matter what they will do anything, even risking their lives to protect her.
END OF SPOILER!!!
Look, I could go on for another few paragraphs, but if I do, it will give away a lot of surprises that really make this movie unique and fun to watch. The point is its fun to watch, has a great cast of well known B+ list actors and actresses including Playboy Playmate of the month December 1987 and Playmate of the Year 1988 India Allen, look her up on IMDb for fun. Basically, this film has it all, a surprise ending, edgy content, the works. It is not an academy award winning piece and it is not meant to be. Its light entertainment and excels at being an agreeable way to pass the afternoon. Mark Hamill makes a great team with Marc Singer and everybody gets to have fun watching them do what they do best. So over all B+ for the film with A+ for what the leads did with what they had to work with. You may not want to see this film after reading all of the reviews. If you think you can make a better film, go do it. If you can't, or just want to have fun, then get a copy of this film and watch it. You won't be disappointed.
