Doble amenaza

"Double Threat" had both an interesting cover/poster and synopsis, which made me sit down and watch this movie. I hadn't even ever heard about this movie from writer CJ Walley and director Shane Stanley, so I didn't know what to expect.

And there were aspects of the movie that proved interesting enough, but over all as a movie then it just failed to be overly enjoyable or entertaining. It was because of the majority of the storyline just felt irrelevant and pointless, and that made for a lousy viewing experience.

I wasn't familiar with the cast in "Double Threat", but they actually put on good enough performances despite of having little to work with in terms of script and storyline. And I will say that lead actor Matthew Lawrence (playing Jimmy) and Danielle C. Ryan (playing Natasha) were nicely cast for the movie.

If you enjoy a good action movie, then "Double Threat" is not really the best of choices. But hey, maybe this movie is just what tickles you in the all the right places.

My rating of "Double Threat" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

From the opening frame the movie has the feel of quality and the whole movie is beautifully designed and beautifully shot. I think the subtle twists on the familiar boy meets girl-assassin routine are quite fun and.the action moves along fairly even paced. I am afraid I did not find any plot holes, and overall I laughed a lot.

All components of this film were B-grade, I lost track of the plot several times, but I enjoyed it none-the-less... go figure! Watch it before you judge it by it by it's rating :)

She has the look, the moves, the personality. She did an awesome job in the role and made the film enjoyable.

Overall the movie was a fun romp of bad guys giving the chase, but it did showcase a talented young woman.

Suspend belief, enjoy the good dialogue, ignore the bad. The fight scenes were pretty decently done, reminiscent of Natasha Romanoff I thought. But the sex scene - really? In these days of freely available porn which is so much better (I'm told) these sorts of semi-modest scenes are a bit cringeworthy.
