Out
for Blood
|
Kickboxing star Don "The Dragon" Wilson is no Christopher Lambert when it comes to standing still and uttering his lines. Out for Blood is an action film made on probably a fraction of the budget of the contemporaneous Lambert vehicle Fortress (1992). But, within its limits, it's an involving genre piece. Director Richard W. Munchkin moves this formulaic story of a grieving, amnesiac cop driven to become a crime-fighting street vigilante at lightning pace. The kinetic visual effects of strobe editing, and the repeated, hyperreal flashbacks to the hero's violent primal scene, certainly enliven proceedings. © Adrian Martin June 1993 |
