Mayhem

I found this one sitting in the horror section of the video store. I should have left it there. There's some decent death sequences, but once you've seen one of them you've pretty much seen them all. Awful acting and a non-existent plot make this movie a dud.

as if the tag line weren't confusing enough,the plot left me completely nonplused.At first its a story about a guy who is sort of a pimp,but not a pimp,who is friends with a guy who is a killer with morals.Then it becomes a rescue film.Then it becomes a wanted,misunderstood couple on the run film(but I never figured out who exactly they were running from).Also the gratuitous scenes of dino and his pal going to and fro in their car,for no particular reason,and dino's weird flashbacks cum fantasys cum artistic doodlings,left me feeling a complete lack of gestalt.And last but certainly not least,the horrendously brainless ending left me retching with disbelief.I still find it hard to fathom anyone putting good money up to even buy the film to make such a useless trifling waste of time.unless you are like me,a fan of the totally worthless,plotless,submoronic,genre of moviedom,then stay away at all costs.this film(i wouldn't dare put it in the category of movie)will suck out your will to live!!!!! thank,rp

Just your usual cheapjack independent action thriller of the 1980s, directed by the ubiquitous Joseph Merhi with a no-name cast. A couple of sleazy guys lose their partners and go on a rampage against drug gangs to get them back. Little action, some violence, not very good...par for the course, then.
