Pact of Vengeance

Full disclosure: I am a member of Len Kabasinki's patreon and contributed, in a very small way, to the funding of this movie.

This is something of a throwback to the B action movies of the 80s and early 90s. There is a lot of B movie craziness and frenetic nonsense going on. The movie starts with some thugs showing up at a garage to try to shake it down. They all get their butts kicked by one of the people there. Instead of writing this off as not worth whatever small amount of money they would get, they decide to escalate things. That's basically the plot of the movie. The bad guys get their butts kicked and, instead of cutting their losses and backing off, they escalate the situation. They are really dumb.

The action scenes vary from not very convincing to really fun. Priscilla Zuniga's fight scenes are all really good. I guess she is a famous wrestler but I don't follow wrestling and didn't recognize her at all. The bad guys don't really seem to pose much of a threat though. Most of them are easily dispatched. Most of them don't really put up a fight at all. There are multiple fat guys with goatees who are more comic relief than threatening. The main bad guy isn't threatening at all. There are some fun fight scenes though.

I was a bit afraid that they would pull a Seagal with Leo Fong and that he would barely be in the movie. That wasn't the case though. He is in the movie quite a lot. Arguably, he is the main character since he is calling the shots the entire time. He has multiple action scenes and is pretty badass. On the other hand, Jon Mikl Thor is barely in the movie and has no scenes with the other actors at all. It seems like he was physically too far from the rest of the cast to shoot scenes with them so all of his scenes are just him in a room by himself.

This is entertaining 80s style B movie action cheese. For fans of that sort of thing, it's fun, entertaining and well worth watching. The 8/10 score is for that audience.
