'Blown Away' is a pretty pathetic Corey and Corey soft porn. It is supposed to be a thriller, but the filmmakers looked as though they weren't interested in much more than the fleshy activities of the three main actors: Corey Haim as the confused looking Rich, Nicole Eggert as bad girl seductress Megan, and Corey Feldman as Rich's brother, Wes, the self-proclaimed expert on women.
Megan is the typical thriller female: rich and initially innocent, though soon exposed as a double crossing seductress. She tries to convince Rich, who is quietly smitten with the blonde beauty, to kill her father. According to Megan, it would be just deserts for the man who killed her mother, hinting that the car accident in which she died was no accident. She claims that her father is some abusive creep in order to convince Rich, who is unsure whether he is loyal enough to this girl to commit murder. And, as the story unfolds (just barely), and Megan's true character is revealed, Rich is left to decide whether Megan is telling the truth about the past and about her father.
The movie was just awful. Haim, in particular, is a pretty boring character. Nicole Eggert is really the only one of the three main characters driving the movie. Feldman doesn't appear much and Haim's character hardly shows any emotion, much less has an speaking parts. His character is completely ridiculous and he hardly acts like a person who's just been asked to kill another. It wasn't like he's the jaded teenager. Obviously, he's supposed to be someone with a conscience. But we never get much from him, and so his character is hardly entertaining, much less suspenseful.
I imagine this was just the Corey team attempting to make a quick transition into more adult roles, having been the mainstream teen heartthrobs for the 80s. Only, this movie is so cheap and so stupid, it looks like the only way they wanted to prove that they've matured beyond teen films is their willingness to bare some skin and get dirty.
