CHARACTER:
Jeff Hannah - Jeff is a high-school student and former gang-member. When his former gang - The Cobras - think he has ratted them out for selling drugs, they decide to take revenge after school. Jeff is a nice guy with a dark past and this marks a very nice role for Adam.
THE FILM:
When you mess with a street gang as deadly as the Cobras, every bullet, every knife blade, every clenched fist has your name carved on it - in blood. It was a time to answer blood with blood. Jeff had to fight his private war in public - a street war so dangerous that no-one wanted to know him. They all just wanted to watch as the blood-bath began, one quiet afternoon at 3:15...
LEAFANS REVIEW:
Adam is very convincing in his third major lead role, even though the film itself is slightly low-budget (which normally isn't a problem, but it shows here). The acting from most of the other actors isn't great in my opinion, but that shouldn't put you off. This film is not a bad effort considering it's budget, but in general, I'd say it's for Baldwin fans only.
GENERAL FACTS AND STUFF THAT DOESNT FIT ANYWHERE ELSE:
Features a very brief appearance by Dean Devlin, who is a friend of Adams and an established writer/producer. This was the second time the two had worked together, the first being the brilliant 'My Bodyguard'.
Featuring before-they-were-famous actors Mario Van Peebles and Gina Gershon in small roles.
