its pretty obvious that before you even watch this, just by looking at the cast of the film at IMDb, that this is not an A class film. The budget was pretty small to say the least but more frustrating was it seemed that the film was just missing a lot of parts that could have helped out the watch-ability of it.
The first part right off was the mysterious guy who comes after the three robbers to kill em all for the bad thing they did (kill a little girl by accident). They give you no indication at how he figures out who killed the girl and how he always finds where everyone's at so he can go kill all the perpetrators. The villain is no mystic and can't see the future so it's like, "how does he know who did it?" They could have added 15 to 20 minutes of filler to this film and it would have helped quite a bit on my rating of it but to make us believe this assassin/hit-man appears in all these places with no way of knowing at how he finds the guys is just a "gimme a break" type of deal. The bummer is at the end where our "parker"esque actor (Peter Coyote) kills the villain, like you'd expect, it's no-one we know throughout the film. It's just a weird guy.
In the middle of the film the Peter Coyote character is sprayed with bullets from a machine in the back and he's placed in the hospital. A few scenes after he escapes the hospital and you see the scar he has on his back, it's the entire length of his spine. My first thought was "geez, this guy is superman". There's no way on this earth anyone could have gotten up a few days after this and just walked away.
I'm a huge fan of the Parker series but this was a total let down. This one begs to be remade but I can't see that happening. For better Parker goodness, try Point Blank or Payback or The Outfit. You'll be well rewarded.
