Pretty Good
One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreCustom cop Jack David (Michael Paré) and his men are ambushed at the Miami docks. Five of his guys are killed. He punches out his supervisor and is fired after getting all the blame. Sandra Ficher introduces him to Roberto Largo (Michael Ironside) to work as a bodyguard for his wife Eva (Barbara Carrera). Jack suspects his old boss Martin Cullen is corrupt and responsible for the deaths. He discovers a connection between Largo and Cullen.This is a pretty bad action B-movie. The acting, the directions and the overall style are all clunky lower level stuff. Everything screams B-movie. The stage fighting is 70s kung fu. The dialog and acting is stiff. Some of the characters are way too ridiculous. Michael Paré is pass his best before date. They throw in some nudity and some explosions to complete the B-movie checklist.
View MoreThis is a low-class (almost no-class) action film which has as its main feature two steamy sex scenes. I saw the unrated version which had a lot of French kissing and Michael Pare licking Barbara Carrera's nipple. Carrerra was so sleazy-looking in this movie, so cheap looking, that so sex scenes did nothing for me.Meanwhile, the dialog in this film is incredibly stupid and none of the characters are appealing. We all need somebody to root for, but there is no one here.In a nutshell: this is pure garbage. I am glad to see the other reviewers here share this view.
View MoreMichael Pare stars as an ex-cop who is hired to protect the wife of a drug-lord(Michael Ironside) however when he starts falling for the wife of said drug-lord, he realizes that he maybe in over his head. I actually saw this for the first time today, when I rented this with Blink Of An Eye, both are Misiorski and Pare collaborations and while Blink Of An Eye was routine yet not completely uninteresting, Point Of Impact represents one of Pare's worst movies. I haven't seen everything from the man but i'm guessing there is no way there are any of his movies that are this super dull. The movie is meant to be erotic but Michael Pare and Barabara Carrera have zero chemistry and I for one was lost in the sludge of conspiracies, love triangles and boredom this movie offered. The pacing which was flawed in Blink Of An Eye, is even worse this time due to the lack of any movement in the story. I didn't have high expectations when I saw this, the cover is incredibly woeful but I expected at least an actual movie not devoid of all entertainment value.1/2* out of 4-(Awful)
View MoreBeing experienced enough to have watched many, and varied movies, I find this to be another example of Michael Pare's relaxed, natural ability to become his character.I must confess, this movie contains the sexiest love scene I've ever witnessed. As he lays back on the white sheets, surrounded by white curtains and breezes, and he tilts his head back, shutting his eyes tightly, drawing his breath in through his teeth in sheer pleasure, then saying "Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god...", turning his face toward the camera... what can I say? Works for me. I also took a line from the movie as a personal identifier, rewriting it so as not to steal. It is when he picks her up in his apartment to take her to bed, saying: "Life is too short to say no!"No matter how the other actors carry off their roles, Pare' always gives each character he plays, his best.Thank you, Michael Pare'....Nikita Samuelle
