Double Threat

Jimmy (Matthew Lawrence) is taken with convenience store clerk Natasha (Danielle C. Ryan). Suddenly, she's super-fighting a kill squad. She had stolen from a criminal mob and they are coming after her.

Ryan is not as funny as she thinks she is. She does have some charms. She is better than this movie. She is a hot chick who can kick. I did not recognize Matthew Lawrence although it's not like he's my favorite or anything. He is supposed to be an accountant. This would work better if he's dressed as a nerd. The writing is rather clunky despite being a simple premise. The split identity could have been interesting, but the acting is limited. This is a B-action flick with various limitations.

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 :)

Mediocre plot and supporting actors, but the action scenes were surprisingly good, and it had some reasonably funny bits. Danielle Ryan was pretty good.

"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.

This was such a childish production, was it made for a twelve year old audience? I gave it one hour and then just couldn't take it anymore. The story was so cliched and predictable, and then add that there were more cringe moments than anything close to a worthy comical laugh. It was lazily written, mushy, corny and simply a waste of time. Nothing really happens except for the same cat and mouse game, with a split personality being the so-called tough act, then the forgettable whiney drama queen, and that got boring real fast. Within the first 5 minutes, Danielle C. Ryan's character gets annoying and it just keeps getting worse, and you'll start noticing this entire film is laughable, then it becomes cringe with all the monotony. For that matter, every character and performance was cheesy and annoying. I can't understand how anyone would have the patience to sit through this entire sloth. Even at a mere 92 min runtime, a lot of nothing happens. At 30 mins in, it felt like I've been watching paint dry for at least one hour. Don't waste your time on this, anything is a better watch and more entertaining. It's a very generous 3/10 from me, all going to some decent directing and cinematography - that's it.
