Now I knew going in that this was a low budget,early performance by George Clooney and Desperate Housewives' Doug Savant, but I was curious, so purchased the DVD for a buck.
Some of the reviews here state this is an awful film, one of the worst ever made. I'm not going to go that far as it did hold my attention, even though I got eyestrain by the time it ended. This film looked like a rejected Miami Vice episode minus the cops. Low level drug dealers Clooney and Savant look for one last big deal before they get out of the business. The shady business partners they are involved with, however, have reasons to kill them.
A apparent key scene, which is not at the end of the movie, was shot at night on the water. Clooney and Savant are double-crossed by the shady partners while on a drug run. Our guys are on jet-skis while a baddie is on a boat trying to shot them. The scene is very dark and it was hard to decipher exactly what was going on. The baddie's boat hit something and exploded. Then, we learned Clooney somehow died in this incident, but for the life of me, I have no idea how. It was too dark to make anything out. If anyone else can figure out this scene, please let me know.
Clooney seems to overact. Shouting profanity after profanity gets old after awhile. Savant's performance isn't too bad, but the real star of this film, in a smaller role, is KISS's Gene Simmons. Simmons shows off some tough, macho acting. His acting credits have been sparse in the last 16 years since Red Surf was made, which is too bad. He really could've done something decent in action flicks.
