    This is the stupidest action movie ever

    I saw this movie a little while ago because my brother always tortured me with it. I think this movie is stupid I'm suprised it was even made. I don't know what my brother liked about this movie. One thing is for sure I haven't seen this movie since then and I don't plan on seeing it again. a little bit of advice you'll be wasting your money if you decide to rent this because it is total garbage take my advice and don't rent it.

    Good in a bad way

    Watching the Reagan-era action movies such as MISSING IN ACTION, COMMANDO, DEATH WISH III and RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II 15 years later, it's hard to keep a straight face. With their high bodycounts, corny one-liners and straight attempts at storytelling, these films will always be fun. MARINE ISSUE is no exception, although this time everything is just a little funnier (unintentionally, of course). The acting is atrocious, direction uninspired, and the action scenes, usually the saving grace in these movies, are badly staged, poorly edited and have some of the funniest sound effects you'll ever hear. It's not often you see a movie from Gibraltar, let alone an unintentionally funny action movie from Gibraltar, so enjoy!

    Instant Justice? It took 100 precious minutes!

    The title 'Instant Justice' had me in mind of the gritty vigilante thrillers of the late '70s and early '80s—movies like Death Wish and The Exterminator. This film, though, is from the latter half of the '80s, a time when cheezy action movies were at their most prevalent; as such, it is packed full of poorly staged shootouts, naff car chases and unconvincing fisticuffs, all accompanied by a horrible synth-driven soundtrack. Star Michael Paré gives one of his least accomplished performances (which is saying something) and token babe Tawny Kitaen sports massive hair and shoulder pads to match as the feisty call girl that our hero falls for (I hope he's had his shots).

    Dumb, not-in-the-least-bit-exciting 'highlights' include Youngblood leaping through a plate glass window onto a car roof (sustaining not even so much as a scratch), a hilarious encounter with a kung fu cook, a close escape from a load of bulls (load of bulls… sums up this film rather nicely!), and Paré driving a Trans Am at high speed while firing his machine gun (after crashing the car through Spain's flimsiest gate).

    Had high hopes as a pare fan...big let down

    Instant Justice was suppose to be Michael Pares big break-action film...produced by mega studio Warner Bros....the film bombed and it deserved to. Pare has made some classics (Streets of Fire, Bad Moon, Eddie and the cruisers I & II) but this film is not one of them. It was a sign of things to come from his uneven and often wooden career. Pare is good shape and still has the charm but the action is poorly staged, the supporting actors are terrible, and the film just feels cheap. Check it out for some old school Pare but don't expect much. Maybe you will enjoy it more going in to it expecting less than i did. Pare is in great shape though.

    Instant bomb

    Michael Pare plays a marine who goes after the bad guys who murdered his sister in this schlock fest that has no real value. Horribly acted this is a really bad movie. Even the action scenes are horrible. Cliches abound. Tawny can't save it and she stays clothed... so there's really no point to watch this garbage..on a scale of one to ten..a 0
