Tracks of a Killer

I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. Wolf Larson is wonderfully creepy and makes a good psycho, and Kelly LeBrock plays a good victim, although she was best when her character had the upper hand. The torture scenes will probably make this unappealing to many people, but they really weren't very graphic, and were possibly the best moments in the whole movie. It takes a little while to get to all the action, and some of the scenes are perhaps dragged out too much, but those were my only problems with this unexpectedly solid film.

This movie was entertaining but kelly lebrock really sucks in the leading role, her acting is terrible in this movie. The movie as a whole is above average tho. The story is without logic and they could've made more out of the last half of the movie. It has a very brief but excellent sexscene too I might add although not involving lebrock.

This 1995 made for TV movie brings Wolf Larson into a role that gives him plenty to do and he does it quite well. Plenty good looking, he manages to steal the film from the others. This film is twelve years old. I'm sure Larson has worked since then. It also stars James Brolin, pre-Streisand, and with dark hair and beard. Either he colors it or he got white fast. I think he looks better with how he looks today. Quite distinguished and handsome. Bravo, Barbra. However, his acting isn't to be praised. He still has a laid back style, not too much emotional force and makes you feel he's acting all the time. This was directed by Harvey Frost (any relation to Jack Frost?) and written by Michael Cooney, the son of the English comedy playwright, Ray Cooney, who knocks them out almost one a year. In fact I directed a play that was written by both the father and son called, CASH ON DELIVERY. This year I directed Ray's latest play, TOM DICK AND HARRY to hilarious results. But, I digress. I was surprised that Michael Cooney wrote this. Not his usual stuff. Both Larson and Brolin are the mates of a couple of gals, Kelly LeBrock and Courtney Taylor who go up to a desolate mountain top only to have much revealed about themselves in the midst of a snow storm. Kelly is not an actress and is mis-cast in this and Taylor isn't much better and fortunately is only in the first part of the film. This is Wolf's movie and he holds it together with his looks and acting talents.

Saw this again recently and repeat my admiration for Wolf Larson. And the others seem to be wash outs. Kelly LeBrock being the worst of the lot. This actress is not good. In fact I found myself rooting for Wolf to win the battle.

There is an error in this film. When we see the dead person's face in the sled, the eyes are open and the face looks rather calm. When we next see the person's face, the eyes are closed and there is a grimace on the face. As a once professional proofreader, I notice things like this.

The film was watchable, but no great shakes in my opinion. I thought James Brolin's acting was a bit forced and a bit unbelievable. The video portion of the show went in and out several times, due to some kind of technical problem with my cable company, so I did miss some key scenes.

Nutcase executive goes homicidal on a trip to a country estate with his boss and their spouses. All the usual exciting events occur and the film plays out precisely as one would expect. A good picture for sure, but don't go in looking for any unexplored terrain.
