DVD Title Fatal Force:

These two bad boring films really didn't impress me. Lets start with the poor quality of the DVD and the fact that they failed to connect the two films.

Death Merchants involves Israel and Palestinian intrigue where the wrong man is lured into a trap by a beautiful woman. Terrorism = bad mmkay? Though we do have Jason Robards. Pity he didn't add any class to this film.

Deadly Recruits had something to do with murder and cults in the UK, but for the life of me I could not figure out what was going on. Just leave the disk on the shelf.

Deadly Recruits


Death comedies really need something in order to be good. This didn't have "it." I do like Hank Azaria, but to call these people dysfunctional would insult the term. Everyone seems to fight over past resentments and all the stress makes the matriarch and new widow want to kill herself. I strongly suggest you avoid this lame duck.

An advertising agency puts subliminal messages in advertising for an election winning a victory for their client. When his best friend dies, executive Lee Majors, finds out what's going on and tries to stop his boss. Robert Mitchum and Valerie Perrine also star.

Not only was the plot, script and acting poor, but the quality of the sound and images detracted from the film. With more than a grade school effort, the film makers could have explored the topic in an interesting way. Instead, they seemed to mock the concept of subliminal advertising with their stupid ads and ridiculous plot.

I watched this film before and I may have posted a review. It somehow got lost off my list though. If you see it, leave a comment with the URL.
