My review was written in February 1990 after watching the movie on RCA/Columbia video cassette.
After three years on the shelf, Florida-lensed "Nasty Hero" emerges as a subpar direct-to-video feature in the action vein. Scott Feraco, who looks a lot like Bill Paxton of "Aliens" and "Near Dark", is the brooding antihero. He's in Miami seeking revenge for having been set up in a hot car he was driving as part of his auto delivery job .
Sluggishly paced pic pits Feraco against young baddie Robert Sedgwick in an escalating vendetta. Climax is okay, set in scenic fashion aboard Miami's elevated Peoplemover.
"Nasty Hero" is pointless. Boxer Carlos Palomino as Feraco's best friend has a nice screen presence, and as his beautiful Vanity-esque niece, Rosanna DaVon is an eyeful. Feraco is boring in the lead role, however.
Pic went into production with Kiwi helmer David Blyth announced in the director's chair, but screen credit for director goes to one Nick Barwood.
