| Blood For Blood (1994) AKA Midnight Man Cast:Lorenzo Lamas,James Lew,Mako,Stephen Vincent Leigh The standard actioner stars Lamas as a cop who faces off against the yakuza's lead hitman called "The Prince" (Lew) after Lamas is marked for death for a broken up drug deal. Once again Lew bails the movie out, he has a screen presence and his mean spirited character is one you wouldn't want to meet ever in a dark alley at midnight but unfortunely Lamas is the star and he is dull. Lew on the other hand is interesting and I would have loved to learn about the menacing glow that his character obtains which unfortunately the script doesn't provide. Basicly this routine genre offering never steps out of it's generic script, Making this for serious Lamas fans. Also the movie fails to get exciting in the action department, this movie would have been made for a treat had it contained more impact but alas the movie is lightweight and the actionscenes are standard, making this movie stay in mediocrity. Aside from Lamas fans, Blood For Blood never boasts much interest, What could have made for a fun flick is wasted on a limp and painfully disappointing effort....D.John Weidner ** |
