Fatal Instinct

Seeing the unfairly low IMDb rating, having read the other 3 reviews -which were more like plot summaries- and being a lover of MYSTERY Crime Dramas, I had to post my thumbs up "defense" of this movie.

Since I love the mystery aspect of any crime film and there is so little of that these days, I gave this movie a high 8 out of 10 for that reason. While I do enjoy big name, seasoned actors, lots of action and car or foot chases, too many movies rely on that for the "success" and suspense of a movie. Not this film: less experienced movie actors and a script that kept you guessing and second guessing "who-done-it" - I loved that!

When I sat down to watch the 2014 movie "Fatal Instinct" from writer and director Luciano Saber, I have to admit that I harbored zero expectations to the movie. I had never heard about the movie, and from the movie's cover and synopsis it sounded like it would be a run-of-the-mill bland and generic crime mystery. But since it was a movie that I had not already seen, of course I opted to give it a fair chance.

The script in the movie was pretty straightforward. I found it to actually be adequately entertaining and enjoyable. Sure, writer Luciano Saber didn't re-invent the genre back in 2014, but he put together a fair enough script and storyline.

The movie does have a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Ivan Sergei, Richard Burgi, Peter Dobson and Dominique Swain. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

Watchable if you enjoy crime mysteries, but "Fatal Instinct" is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

My rating of writer and director Luciano Saber's 2014 movie "Fatal Instinct" lands on a five out of ten stars.

"Fatal Instinct" a police Action Thriller that keeps you bound to a seat until the end of the film .An action film that everyone has to see it! The film was shot in the city of Los Angeles that gives it the action flavor with many great locations It's a maze of potential suspects that keeps you guessing all the way through. The film very entertaining with great cast, amazing car and helicopter chases, investigation, love story and fun between the two main cops that sometimes keeps their friendship on the edge. Great written and directed by Luciano Saber. I hope we'll see soon another film made by this wonderful and creative director!

Bad acting, bad characters, bad storyline, bad suspense, bad production and a bad predictable twist. Yes I guessed it. Every episode of Burn Notice is better in all categories. Very disappointed. The overwhelming poor reviews are right. The 8 & 10 point reviews are nonsense. Maybe if they didn't spend so much time on stupid sub pilot and had better suspects.

Watched this on Tubi Tv. It had a good pace and the twist kept you guessing until the end. The twist is actually quite good. This is an easy watch with excellent production values and decent performances. Watch it on a rainy Sunday or during a quarantine period.
