Review of Caught in the Headlights

I watched this movie mainly to see Erika Eleniak. The good news is that she looks more gorgeous than usual in this one. The bad news is that, although she plays a special agent of the Justice Department, she has little in the way of real action apart from running around waving a gun - she doesn't even get to kill one person! The movie is watchable mainly thanks to its cast - in addition to Eleniak, there is a cute and likable Brigitta Dau, Kim Coates as a fairly complex villain (he has no hesitation about killing people but at the same time he honestly loves Eleniak and doesn't want to get her hurt), and Stacy Keach and Erin Gray as an amusingly offbeat married couple of middle-aged assassins. But in the last 30 minutes "Caught in the Headlights" is caught by its low budget, and the action gets limited to watching all those characters endlessly running around in an abandoned mill. This stretched-out climax is definitely the weakest part of the movie. (**)
