Justice privée

Michael Pare stars as Scott Youngblood(A not so cool action star name) who goes to Spain to get vengeance on the pimp who killed his sister. The pimps of course shrug off big brother but what they don't know is that Scott is one of the best marines in his unit and his one man army antics will have the bad guys praying for a quick death. I saw this movie on WGN a couple of months ago and I still had it recorded on my Teevo when I decided to watch it again. It's one of those stupid action movies that could only be made in the 80's and for the life of me I don't know why I missed this one in theaters but I did. It's a dumb movie but I loved the action sequences as well as Michael Pare's heroics. Tawny Kitaen was a lot hotter then I remembered and the action sequences were well staged. The movie is of course wonderfully stupid but anyone who hears of a movie made 20 years ago, called Instant Justice, knows what to expect.

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.

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).

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

I saw this movie a little while ago because my brother always tortured me with it. I think this movie is stupid I'm suprised it was even made. I don't know what my brother liked about this movie. One thing is for sure I haven't seen this movie since then and I don't plan on seeing it again. a little bit of advice you'll be wasting your money if you decide to rent this because it is total garbage take my advice and don't rent it.
