It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Blistering performances.

If you are a fan of Michael Madsen or Ron Perlman, and can tolerate Kristy Swanson, then "Supreme Sanction" is worth a look. Personally I like David Dukes as a bad guy, as in "Snow Kill", but here he is nothing more than a rather bland journalist. This is a small, low budget movie, that would fall through the cracks were it not for some unexpected humorous dialog. Think Kristy Swanson as a female James Bond- type trying to carry a totally unrealistic script. One redeeming factor is the almost total absence of car chases. There are however, plenty of "F bombs" dropped by the entire cast. Marginally recommended. - MERK

I love Kristy Swanson movies. She's a beautiful, compelling actress and deserves better than this; but, as always, she does a super job. I do think the director made her character a little to terse and mean, even though the plot called for it. Had he allowed Kristy some margin of sensuality and vulnerability, she would have rounded out her character and added another level to the film. Kristy is athletic and projects herself powerfully. I don't think any actress can equal her in action roles. She can do anything, but she is quite adept at handling physical, aggressive characters. She's believable, and always fun to watch. In Supreme Sanction, Kristy plays a reluctant assassin, who rebels, and is then pursued by her top secret government employers. Michael Madsen, a super actor, is her chief antagonist. She allies herself with her intended target and her computer-genius friend, and they seek to expose the "Agency" and save the target's little daughter. Supreme Sanction is a rather marginal action film with limited atmosphere. After some initial action it bogs down for a while, until the mildly wild climax. But Kristy, and Michael Madsen make it worthwhile. They play well off each other. The director goes a little overboard trying to let us know how mean and incorrigible Madsen's character is. I got the point well before he was satisfied. There are plenty of holes in the plot, so watch this one for the actors; and Kristy's brief disguise as a hooker.

See! Kristy Swanson's career go down the drain right before your very eyes.Witness! Michael Madsen look tough and say tough things.Watch! A movie eerily reminiscent of every other direct-to-video release in the last decade.Behold! The horrible travesty that is 'Supreme Sanction'.Give this one a pass, there's nothing of any interest here.2/10

It's fairly evident throughout the movie that the plot has been molded after Point Of No Return and others of the genre. Christy Swanson plays a government assasin that must kill against her will. Watch it if you'd like to see Swanson dressed up as a lady of the night!
