Supreme Sanction

After reading the other comments, I again feel we all did not see the same movie. I liked it very much. I thought it was one of David Dukes' better movies. That is who made this movie for me. Though, I was quite impressed with Michael Madsen's performance.

See! Kristy Swanson's career go down the drain right before your very eyes.

Witness! Michael Madsen look tough and say tough things.

Watch! A movie eerily reminiscent of every other direct-to-video release in the last decade.

Behold! The horrible travesty that is 'Supreme Sanction'.

Give this one a pass, there's nothing of any interest here.

2/10

As usual Michael Madsen plays a villain with a Hawaiian shirt. Madsen like Treat Williams, who went through a period in his career, where in every movie he appeared in, he wears a Hawaiian shirt, so Madsen had a phase where he did the same.

His character is on the hunt for Kristy Swanson the hit-woman. She betrayed her contract and now the government wants to kill her. Ron Perlman co-stars as one of the main government baddies. He puts in a professional performance.

This movie has it's cheap moments, but it's a lot of fun and worth seeing.

Very interesting action flick. An elite assassin(Kristy Swanson) for a covert U.S. agency decides not to pull the trigger on her latest assignment. She spots her target who is a well known TV reporter(David Dukes) playing with his child and decides to not take his life. Now she and her target are hunted down by her employers. Michael Madsen and Ron Perlman are determined to catch the savvy and sexy sharpshooter.

I saw this film in the TV guide and decided to give it a go, since it had Kristy Swanson. Anyway seeing her as an government assassin was new. The opening credits were encouraging, but then my expectations went down the drain as soon as the shooting started. Swanson does not look in anyway like a hitwoman, the 'action' scenes are laughable. The reporter she is supposed to be protecting look s bored most of the time. Michael Madsen is such a over-rated actor, it occurred to me that he plays the exact same character in every movie. The attempts at humour are so bad that they're funny, the best lines go to Swanson's sidekick. Ron Pearlman is wasted as the big boss, and dies cheaply. In one scene the reporter has been interrogated (Tortured) by Madsen's people, but when we see him afterwards he doesn't have a mark on him!!!
