Act of War (1998)
2/10
Don't bother

At first glance this appeared to be one of the better looking Jack Scalia outings I've seen. Of course that feeling doesn't last long. The story is a James Bond reject with a dash of romance. It isn't worth talking about at length and neither is any mention of the cast. There's some real cheese grade acting going on here.

The F/X are passable for a low budget movie of this order, but the entire contraption is void of anything mildly redeeming. The whole secret agent scenario is cliché and the characters are devoid of any depth or meaning.

My one wish is that I had a briefcase like Jack Gracy (Scalia's character). In the movie his has a red light that goes off when an unauthorized entry at a Russian Nuclear missile silo has occurred. Mine would be slightly different. It would still have a red light, but it would only go off when someone made a really memorable direct to video action flick.

This is not one of those times.
