(3 out of 5 stars)

"This movie had all the ingredients to be a 4-star movie. The only problem is that the director, producers and screenwriters never cooked all the ingredients. They had all the basics to make a good movie. I am a Michael Worth fan, but his fight scene was too predictable and fleeting.There should have been more violence and in a place with more lighting. It always helps in this genre if the hero gets his but kicked in the middle of the movie by the main villian, so that at the end , with the big climactic scene, he will return the favor. That never happened. The chemestry was there between Worth's character and the female lead, played very well by Sharisse Bernard, but no love making scenes, which always makes her peril at the end more worthwile. I never really got a bead on "THE STORY". This movie ended way to abruptly, which took away from the movie in a big way. No hero, at the end just stabs the villian, who falls into a pool and then the words "THE END" . There was not final fight scene. I was waiting for the fight scene. Had I rented this movie, I would not have bought it, but it is worth keeping in my collection. Three stars is a bit generous, since the movie was so fragmented, but I cannot post a 2.75. I was left with many questions , when I did not have to be. I wonder why?"
