It has Cody from Riptide and Henry Deacon from Eureka, so I sort of had to give it a shot... even though Deacon wasn't featured as much as I hoped. But that's always 50/50, I hate it when he plays a bad guy.
Anyway it's like an American Gaillo, because it doesn't really get moving and that is sort of the lost in translation from one country's trademark genre to anothers. But it tries and it is entertaining.
And entertainment is all I ask for in a movie... even if they are tracking down someone as unoriginally named as "The handcuff Killer." Generic much?
But then it's not supposed to be Chinatown, it's not supposed to be anyone's favorite film. It's just supposed to keep you amused for a couple of hours and with that is succeeds.
