Description:

Confirming the testosterone-laced promise he showed in the earlier Drive, the charismatically lithe Mark Decascos stars as buff man-of-the-cloth Father Luke, whose plans for a successful food drive are put on hold when a covert kill squad forces him to confront his shadowy past in this surprisingly effective bullet ballet. The needlessly complex high-tech story line may be somewhat shaky, but this adrenalized conspiracy thriller earns its wings by virtue of a strong cast (including a villainous Jaimz Woolvett, miles away from his role as the greenhorn gunslinger in Unforgiven), an impressively stylized lighting palette, and a jawdroppingly gonzo epilogue that cries out for--nay, demands--a sequel! Director Tibor Takacs was previously responsible for two unfairly forgotten '80s horror gems The Gate and I, Madman. This nicely rendered DVD is presented in a pan-and-scan format only, but does feature production notes, a cast and crew bio, and an exceptionally lively sound mix. Recommended for viewers eager to add a little red meat to their cinematic diet. --Andrew Wright
