Jack Walker

The immensely talented martial arts phenom Mike Moeller and his team are behind the action scenes (and in front of camera) in this wacky action comedy which plays out like Die Hard on an Indie film set. It's cheap and cheerful, but there are lots of film production in-jokes, and plenty of exciting hand to hand combat to enjoy.

This is a very low budget movie. And the plot is pretty implausible. BUT it rises above its meager resources because of a few of the actors.

Stefan Morawietz, plays Jack Walker is a washed up, world weary action movie star who is forced to accept work on a low budget, almost film student movie. Stefan really carries the whole movie. He is very likable and one cannot help but cheer him on.

The other stand out performance is by Denis Lyons who obviously enjoys playing this role as he chews up the scenery and gives a delicious and yet believable over the top performance as the villain. (He even plays a little evil music on a pipe organ!)

Be prepared to suspend disbelief because it's a silly little movie that starts out slowly. Also, the production values, frequently lack of background music and the low quality sound production are sometimes a little distracting.

But the crew of this film obvious made this movie as a labor of love and as a paean to classic Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies. Also, The fight scenes are pretty good considering the budget.

I am surprised at how much I got a kick out of this weird, little, silly, low budget movie. I enjoyed it and found myself cheering on the main hero, just as one does in big budget, better produced action movies.
