Madrid Connection

The total point of renting this sack of garbage was to feast on something terrible. My friend and I obviously overestimated our tolerance for this movie, which was a film equivalent of a venereal disease.

Acting? No, of course not, there was NO acting. (Although I suppose the shower scene has made it on one of my top ten "best of the worst" lists...our protagonist apparently had forgotten he was naked in a shower with a fully clothed prostitute long enough to fall in love with her and call her "babe" at least once.)

I had my eyes covered in shame for most of the movie. We fast-forwarded it through a good deal of the end, including the blah-blah chase scene where the token English guy was dropped off in the middle of the Spanish desert.

All in all, I'd like my hour and a half back.

I'm going to go translate some manuscripts out of their original ancient Greek to reward myself for having sat through this mind-numbing movie.

Michael Pare plays a marine who goes after the bad guys who murdered his sister in this schlock fest that has no real value. Horribly acted this is a really bad movie. Even the action scenes are horrible. Cliches abound. Tawny can't save it and she stays clothed... so there's really no point to watch this garbage..on a scale of one to ten..a 0

The video store posters with Michael Pare in Marine dress blues holding an MP5 sub machine gun does similarly what a (real) U. S. Marine recruiting poster does; ATTRACT.

So I rented this video from a local video store expecting an action packed epic. The plot is a familiar one about revenge. While the action in this straight-to-video movie is pretty decent, the results are anything but super quality.

Cliche after cliche are presented in this film; the main character Marine Sgt. Scott Youngblood is portrayed as superhuman like (minus special powers) as he takes on an entire crime organization with the help of a random sidekick and the usual damsel in distress.

In my opinion, it's not too unwatchable; I have seen it a couple of times. If you see the plight of Scott Youngblood, you may want to follow his quest for vengeance or "Instance Justice." Just don't expect quality acting and results, but a cliche'd execution.

This movie is about a young marine who goes off in search of his sister's killer in Spain. The Marine is played by Micheal Pare. He gets help from a few friends and the miltary. The young man eventually finds the killer and gets his instant justice. The story is well put together and the action is fast !!Instant Justice is ok if you like Micheal Pare or off the beaten path action movies!!This is an overlooked gem of action movie overlooked the year it was released!!!

The title 'Instant Justice' had me in mind of the gritty vigilante thrillers of the late '70s and early '80s—movies like Death Wish and The Exterminator. This film, though, is from the latter half of the '80s, a time when cheezy action movies were at their most prevalent; as such, it is packed full of poorly staged shootouts, naff car chases and unconvincing fisticuffs, all accompanied by a horrible synth-driven soundtrack. Star Michael Paré gives one of his least accomplished performances (which is saying something) and token babe Tawny Kitaen sports massive hair and shoulder pads to match as the feisty call girl that our hero falls for (I hope he's had his shots).

Dumb, not-in-the-least-bit-exciting 'highlights' include Youngblood leaping through a plate glass window onto a car roof (sustaining not even so much as a scratch), a hilarious encounter with a kung fu cook, a close escape from a load of bulls (load of bulls… sums up this film rather nicely!), and Paré driving a Trans Am at high speed while firing his machine gun (after crashing the car through Spain's flimsiest gate).
