Perhaps owing to some heretofore undiagnosed hideous genetic defect common to certain families who spend all their time getting kicked in the head at the gym, when Jack sees the scarf, he thinks it looks smashing! Until his wife tells him it was a gift from Kevin! Then Jack starts smashing her! A blue scarf that even more inexplicably was given to her by Kevin when he came to town to work on his case! Really Kev? What man is out there buying scarves to hand out as gifts to his sexy sister-in-law?

She’s banging hot in her skintight dress which she inexplicably ruins with a silly blue scarf tied into her hair. I could probably root for Jack if he was simply a greedy homicidal maniac, but he pushes it too far once he’s back at home and he and his wife are getting ready to go out for their anniversary. I’ll admit it did seem out of line when he then gleefully executed his brother’s undercover informant right there in the office! and with Kevin having left Jack to take care of their crippled up boozehound father! You can even forgive Jack for stealing a little bit of jewelry from an antique store since he’s giving it to his wife for their anniversary and because he stopped a robbery there earlier with his bare hands! He just cut out the middle man (the store owner) in getting a reward for saving the ungrateful turd’s life!Īnd though I did grow a bit uneasy when Jack invaded the Russian mobster’s headquarters to force the mobster to cut him in on the profits of a drug shipment coming into town, my moral relativism (and my delight at seeing Gary Hudson from Operation Delta Force 4: Deep Fault and Black Thunder chew scenery with a entertaining surliness) meant I didn’t care all that much if some dirtbag criminal had to share the wealth.

On the trail of a vicious Russian mob boss (he’s so mean he chops parts of his relatives’ fingers off just to make sure they stay loyal!), DEA agent Kevin White (Wincott) finds himself back in his old home town where his older brother, a cop named Jack, still lives and seethes with anger toward Kevin for going to college and getting out their crappy home town – some craphole named Los Angeles!Īt first you can sympathize with Jack, what with being left in a dead end no name small town like Los Angeles while his brother gets to live in fancy big cities like Washington, D.C. Utterly anonymous martial arts movie star Jeff Wincott ( Last Man Standing) finally meets his match in this, the darkest and grimmest of all the movies he made where his frequent karate chops effortlessly replace completely superfluous acting chops!
