Stumbling upon this 1994 movie titled "Crackerjack", from director Michael Mazo, here in 2025, of course I opted to watch it, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen.
Writers Micheal Bafaro and Jonas Quastel put together a script and storyline that actually proved better than I had expected. The storyline turned out to be a rather enjoyable and entertaining one, so it was a joy to sit through the 96 minutes that the movie ran for. Sure, one might argue for this being a somewhat run-of-the-mill early 1990s action thriller, but it was still an enjoyable and entertaining movie. So thumbs up to writers Micheal Bafaro and Jonas Quastel for that accomplishment.
The movie does start out in a pretty upscale speed, throwing the audience right into the action, without us actually knowing what is going on. I liked that, because it pretty much set a hope for a fast paced and action-packed movie.
The movie actually has a pretty impressive cast ensemble, with the likes of Thomas Ian Griffith, Nastassja Kinski, Alex Diakun and Christopher Plummer on the cast list. The acting performances in "Crackerjack" was good. Leading actor Thomas Ian Griffith carried the movie nicely. And I had never thought that I would actually see Christopher Plummer in a villanous role, but he really performed rather well as a villain.
If you enjoy action thrillers, and get the chance to watch the 1994 movie "Crackerjack", I would recommend you to do so. I was genuinely and wholeheartedly entertained throughout the course of this movie.
My rating of director Michael Mazo's 1994 movie "Crackerjack" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.
