When I stumbled upon the 1990 movie "The First Power" here in 2022, I opted to sit down and watch it, for what turned out to be the second time actually since 1990. I had entirely forgotten about the movie, but as I started to watch it, it started to come back to me.
Writer and director Robert Resnikoff managed to churn out an interesting enough storyline for "The First Power", although it was a little bit far out there. But hey, it made for adequate entertainment, and that is what movies are about.
While the storyline is semi-adequate, then it was actually fun to watch the cast ensemble in the movie on the screen, which included the likes of Lou Diamond Phillips, Tracy Griffith, Jeff Kober, Mykelti Williamson and Elizabeth Arlen, so there are some familiar faces from the 1990s cinema here.
And in "The First Power" if felt like the production crew didn't even bother to try to make the stunt doubles resemble the actors that they were suppose to stand in for. It was just hilarious to watch, especially since it was so painstakingly obvious that it was a whole different performer doing the stunts.
I will say that "The First Power" is certainly enjoyable enough for what it turned out to be. Sure, you're not in for a grand cinematic experience here, but the movie is actually entertaining enough.
My rating of "The First Power" lands on a five out of ten stars.
