Deadly Impact

In all honesty, I really enjoyed this movie. It was a decent thriller. It reminded me a little of the TV show 24 for some reason, maybe the storyline. Flanery and Pantoliano do a pretty good job and really make this film. I think the movie could have been better with a different female lead, she just didn't seem to suit the part. I must say though, she is a hottie!! Most of the rest of the cast just make up the numbers. One downfall was that I didn't really like how music played through most of the movie, I don't understand why they do this.

If you like movies in the same genre as speed and the like you will enjoy this one.

I'll admit that this is not a great movie, the plot is simple and you can see some turns coming a mile away. However this is an entertaining movie, the performance by Sean Patrick Flannery is very good and the acting of Joe Pantoliano is excellent. Both are believable and deliver good performances. On the other hand the acting of just about everyone else is atrocious especially Carmen Serano she should not be allowed to be in any more movies towards the end I kept hoping she would be next to die so I wouldn't have to listen to her anymore. This movies a one you should rent on a night when you want to be entertained by a mindless movie that doesn't require you to think to much, if you do that you will have fun.

Silly and unbelievable story line. Wooden acting to a script that is a mish mash of so many other films. The title should be 'deadly cliché'. The biggest crime in this film is that from the first 5 minutes it leaves things unexplained as if key sections had been cut to confuse the audience. There is little or no tension and it becomes so predictable you can leave the film for 20 minutes in the sure and certain knowledge not much of consequence will have happened.

The script in this movie is very flat. The plot is very predictable and not particularly thrilling. The female lead is eye candy for the lads, but she didn't really sell the part - and her dialogue was pretty weak.

Deadly Impact is a really good suspense Thriller with some good action scenes & two good leads!!!

I had never seen a "Sean Patrick Flanery" film until i finally watched "Deadly Impact" & he made a good lead & seems like a good solid actor & done very good here as a troubled cop who has done something horrific to the one he loved because he had to!!!

The real star of this exciting Thriller is the Awesome "Joe Pantoliano" who plays a real sadistic evil terrorist they call "The Lion", this guy is so smart & so remorseless, he's a great villain & it's a great performance by "Joe" who is planting bombs all over a city & uses some very funny disguises!!! You get to feel the hate between the Cop & the Terrorist as it's all very personal & gets very intense. A real Cat & Mouse Thriller full of intensity & action & Directed by a legend within the Horror genre "Robert Kurtzman" who is an fx wizard & has done amazing work on "From Dusk Till Dawn '96" which he also helped write the script & has helped create tons of horror movies & has directed a few but his best was the excellent "Wishmaster" back in 1997, this "Deadly Impact" was his first time directing a "Action Thriller" instead of a Horror & he done a great job.

Yes this is a very low-budget B-movie that is made in the old school mould of action Thriller films like "Lethal weapon" & others & that's a good thing!!! I really enjoyed Deadly Impact
