Código de asesinos

If you live or have lived in the south Denver/ Englewood area., you'll recognize a few things. I learned of this "movie* because they shot a few scenes at the building I used to work at (Chase Bank building at 303 W Hamden Ave, scene where Richard Moll talks to Martin Kove, I could tell Moll is in that building). Other than the sight seeing it is a super stupid, boring AF, and it looks like it was acted, produced, and directed by an elementary school aged kid.

When you read the jacket on the movie, it says that it contains Fast action and Furious martial arts. In truth, out of 101 minutes of running time, you have a total of 12 people shot in the movie whereby 6 are shot in the beginning and 6 are shot 92 minutes later. In between is a yawn.

Their is no martial arts anywhere in the movie that I could see and I since a lot of the movie is centred around brooding and introspection, you couldn't call it a thriller either and if its a drama, it's very uninspiring. I truly don't know what to make of it other than to say don't waste your time on it.

I decided to buy this movie because not only did it contain an interesting B movie cast (John Savage, Martin Kove, Christopher Atkins, and Richard Moll), but that the store that was selling it was only charging a dollar. Boy, it sure didn't take long into watching this movie before I was regretting my decision. It's a really cheap affair, with cinematography that at times resembles one of those shot on video B movies from the 1980s. No one in the cast gives a particularly good performance, with the lead actor coming across as incredibly stiff and emotionless. But the biggest problem with the movie is that it's really boring. Though the DVD case promises "fast action and furious martial arts", the gun battles have absolutely no power and excitement, and while there are some fisticuffs here and there, I don't think any of them qualify as being martial arts. Unless you want to be bored out of your mind by endless scenes of people talking, I would strongly recommend you give this movie a miss.

Well I did not expect great acting when I started watching this movie. And I did not really get any either. I did not expect to see a new and groundbreaking plot, and they use one used hundreds of times before. I would say kind of average in most parts.

There is a fair share of violence in the movie. but most is just shooting. I thought for an agent/hitman movie it was quite entertaining. I have seen far worse in I was entertained while the movie was playing.

Would I recommend it? If you are searching for great movies no. If you look for something to watch before you go to sleep that is not too mind blowing then it is a good choice. I was entertained, but I did not set my expectations high. I have seen far worse high budget action movies and also better.

My main incentive to watch this was seeing Bull from Night Court in a different kind of role. He is pretty good, but not as moral as I am used to.

The scenes with Paul and Arlo were sometimes funny, especially with Stacia. Dodd was a good character too.

This isn't my kind of movie, and I can't say whether it is any good or not. I was just glad when it was over and certain people survived. And no, not everyone we like is going to survive.
