Karate Man

"Out For Blood" is a PM Entertainment movie made when the company really started to get serious. The photography (by PM Entertainment honcho Richard Pepin) is excellent, and the rest of the production values are good as well. However, in most other aspects, the movie is lacking. The screenplay (which somehow took three people to write, from a "concept" by star Wilson) is seriously padded out; while the movie may never really get BORING, it will seriously test your patience at times. The fight sequences, the real selling point of the movie, are disappointing, with unspectacular moves and rapid editing combining to drain any energy the fights might have provided. About the only bright spot is unintentional, with a villain who strongly resembles Z movie star David Heavener. The best way to watch this movie is when you are doing something else at the same time, like your taxes or cleaning your living room. That way, your attention can be fixed on something productive when the movie turns uneventful. One additional word of warning if you decide to rent this movie: The Madacy DVD uses the edited-for-television print, meaning all the foul language and other R-rated goodies are edited out.
