Plot: SWAT-Team instructor John Lomax's faith in the American justice system is shaken when the sociopath who murdered his sister is sentenced to life in a mental institution rather than to Death Row. Internal pressures upon Lomax mount when he is attacked by a mentally unstable woman desperately trying to free her brother from jail before his execution. When Lomax begins talking about ways to get to his sister's murderer and to kill him for revenge, his girlfriend and his partner get seriously worried. Meanwhile, the killer himself has devised an escape plan and he doesn't care who gets killed during the ensuing mayhem. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Action Flick with Some Kenpo in It
Added 11/14/2007

Action flick with some halfway decent MA scenes in it; Speakman was still buff in this one, but I found myself fast forwarding to the fight scenes at times. Also stars Ron Silver, who is pretty good as a bad guy.

Not one of his best

I'd have to say that I was very disappointed with this movie. The fight scenes were hard to follow and the story was pretty weak. The bad guy played a pretty good nut case and I'm a pretty big Speakman fan but overall I'd have to say that this wasn't a very good movie. The one thing that I'd have to say I liked about the show is the first couple of minutes where you can see Jeff performing some of his Kenpo techniques. That is really the only reason I ever put the tape in the VCR.

I am a big Jeff Speakman fan but I have to say that this is probably the worst movie that he has made so far. The best part of the whole movie is the first five minutes where you get to see him perform his Kenpo techniques as a silloette. The story isn't that bad but the direction stinks. Especially for the fight scenes. Things go by so fast that you can't really see what Jeff is doing to the bad guys. Plus alot of shots get obscured by objects in the rooms. And just as a final comment, if you watch this movie watch as a stunt man jumps backwards through a window before Jeff can fully extend his kick.
