Featured review
A very long time ago, I read an interview with one of my fav actors Lance Henriksen. In it, he talked about the differences between working with David Duchovny & Robert Patrick. He had done a movie with the latter? This was before 2011's 'Good Day for It'. Fast forward to now as I sit down for the second team-up of Lance & director Albert Pyun with 'Spitfire'. Then Mr. T-1000 shows up playing an uncredited gunman in the opening. Believe me when I say solving this mystery was way more fun than anything that happened afterwards.
A world class gymnast (Kristie Phillips) unknowingly has secret agents for parents (Henriksen, Debra Jo Fondren) and is thrown into the middle of a globe trotting adventure. The dad she doesn't even know covertly slips her a CD containing the launch codes to Ukrainian missiles which bad guys desperately want. Caught in the shenanigans is also an alcoholic sports reporter (Tim Thomerson) who lends a hand.
Pyun films are usually cheap, bad and this is yet another example. 'Spitfire' looks drab. Boasts being shot in multiple places, but isn't filmed well. Lance is wasted. A James Bond-like opening credit sequence is the most creative thing here. While a gymnastic competition lends more one note villains and an unintentional laugh or two. This was a real snooze.
