Muerte al Primer Ministro

I guess the best way to characterize this film is it is an experimental artistic movie. Either you like it? Or you don't. Either you give it a 7, or a 3. The Rating here is definitely misleading to what this is. Compared to other movies from Miss Sands, Miss Sands has a lot more Acting quality than this film utilizes. BUT everybody watching the movie should understand the condition under which this film is created. The movie is taken Prior to her death from her illness. And that way the movie must be watched. As Homage, as last escape from what is dangling above her head. A wild, curious, chaotic, eccentric, adventurous trip. If you can feel what is going on here, the movie is there to Keep. And watch. Thank you.

Overseas production Casting Sands (her last film) and Lockhart and director Schultz to market the black action film market is a misfire. The film looks like a unfinished film! Co-star J. Eric Bell appears talking cool explaining the plot as himself (!) telling us about the movie. Bell has little to do as Sands brother in the film, but seems to have screen potential as himself in the begining of the film. The basic plot is Sands wins a contest to go to Lebennon and gets mixed up in a international plot concerning an assassinated African leader. Lockhart plays a mercenary who is also confused and teams up with Sands. People who went to the theatres (or rent this film on video) will be disappointed that this is not a "black exploitation" film. Title songs and post art work suggest it is, but it's not. Not recommended.

This film essentially begins with a young man by the name of "Arthur 'Skiggy' Lewis" (J. Eric Bell) and his cousin "Laura 'Honeybaby' Lewis" (Diana Sands) winning a television game show quiz with the prize being a free cruise to Lebanon. The catch is that the television game show wants to showcase the trip, so they also send two of their camera crew by the names of "Sam" (Seth Allen) and "Herb" (Nabih Aboul Hoson) to take pictures and film as much of it as possible. And while both Skiggy or Honeybaby actually manage to tolerate their constant attention, things get quite complicated when an Asian woman named "Madame Chan" (Gay Suilin) slips a microdot containing a secret formula into Laura's handbag which a certain clandestine group needs to help them seize power in an African country. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this obviously low-budget film was rather badly edited as few of the scenes flowed very smoothly together. So bad, in fact, that it almost seemed like it was filmed in a hurry. Likewise, the acting wasn't that good and the dialogue was even worse. That being said, those looking for a good international action-thriller might be terribly disappointed and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
