Non-stop ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie is the Fast and Furious of non-stop fast flowing action.Sean Patrick Flanery (Boondock Saints)and Joe Pantoliano (Sopranos) arepitted against each other in a wild blow-em up roller coaster of aride. The director ( Robert Kurtzman) adds a little spice with hottieCarmen Serano as an FBI agent. Kurtzman gets all that he can get out ofthe actors and then some. The music is awesome as well as the specialeffects. THUMBS UP!!!!!!!! From start to finish I was at the edge of myseat. If I was to compare it to another movie (Speed) comes to mind asit's all that and more. You'll have to watch this without blinking youreyes.

Truly Awful

A predictable, stereo-typed load of American patriotic turd. So hiswife died, you cant win it all, but that doesn't stop him nailing hisco-worker later on. another perfect example of how American actionthrillers display their ideal American dream achieved by loosingmorals. I honestly don't recommend this for anyone, not children as itsfar to gory and aggressive, not adults because it is so unbelievablymind numbing it makes it amazingly difficult to watch and even harderto enjoy. As for the ending, well what a cop out. By some miracle theyfigure out where a mastermind is, someone they have been following foryears because he makes such obvious mistakes. WHAT A PLOT HOLE! Sounbelievable it actually made me cringe.Really disappointed.

Deadly Impact - Hardly

Another revenge flick that makes ridiculous demands on the audience -the acting is only just above the typical WWF performance, nothing elseis. The plot, premise and screenplay are pure simplistic pantomime.Don't bother unless you are really sucked in by the plots in WWF. Whyoh why do these action films have to have such contrived story lines toexecute screenplay. An irritating dick-waving contest between and evil'mastermind' who despite having the ability to take on any challengesets about playing games with the dumbest cop in police enforcementhistory. It is very hard to imagine an psychopath so cruel that hewould not have just finished the idiot in the first scene and spared usall the agony.

Awesome Movie

I enjoyed the action and the thrill of the movie.It was better thenwhat the trailer showed. The special effects were great and very willexecuted. The way the movie ended was great out of this world. Theacting was some of the best I have seen in a while. The way the movieopened was so good. For a low budget movie it was well worth everminute to watch I would have to say that the Director was extremelygood and did a very great job on. Robert Kurtzman has always been ableto give the audience what the wanted as far as action and gore. SeanPatrick Flanery did such an awesome job Acting along with JoePantoliano. I would buy the movie and added it to my collection andtell any one to watch it.

Not bad - could have been better

It's your typical straight-to-DVD movie - it's not bad at all. Therewere a few plot holes (how in the world does the one cop's bartenderdaughter get out of the hotel when all the entrances are sealed and ifit's a hotel, why can't people just leave out the windows of the roomson the first floor?) but you essentially get what you pay for. Nothingoriginal here at all and some bad CGI explosions - but the worst thingwas the "woman" playing the female FBI agent. I swear when I first sawher I thought it was a tranny. Hard to look at with a stupid "littlegirl" voice - this woman cannot act her way out of a paper bag. How inthe world did she get this part - or any part for that matter? It getsto the point where you can't watch when she's on screen. With all thecompetent, easier to look at actresses in the world why put this personin this role? The love scene was the funniest. Overall, competent leadand villain and at least watchable and with so much crap coming out onDVD these days, I guess that's a good thing.

terrible

This review is from: Deadly Impact (DVD) Calling this a B movie would be a disservice to B movies everywhere.Very disappointing.

Deadly Impact worth a view or two....

Score another winner for master of horror Robert Kurtzman, this timewith a taught, densely packed thriller. Joe Pantoliano and Sean PatrickFlanery are excellent foils for each other, with Flanery as the copwith a tragic, tortured past and Pantoliano as a maniacal assassin witha grudge. While there are a few flaws inherent in any film that doesn'thave a $50 million budget, these can be overlooked as this film grabsyou by the throat and doesn't let up. Kurtzman's pacing is intense,with a minimum of shoe leather to get you from scene to scene. You dohave to pay close attention to every tiny scrap of dialogue, though, asthere are lines that are nearly throwaways that are important to theplot. I definitely recommend this for at least a rental, if not ahighly entertaining addition to your library. I am disappointed thatthis doesn't appear to be coming out on Blu-Ray. I'd love to be able towatch it on the Hi-Def with that excellent soundtrack rumbling myinnards.

bomb is the word

Worst movie I have ever seen. No exaggeration. Acting terrible, plotline worse. The idea that someone invested in this bomb is, simply,stunning. I barely managed to watch the whole movie only because Iprayed that the lead female would die.She didn't.Bad guy did. Even that small joy was denied the audience.Reminiscent of the worst cops and robbers movies of the 70's.. Thedepths of the stupidity of the law enforcement in this movie spokevolumes of the ignorance of the writer (their couldn't be more thanone). Every time you think "they can't be this stupid", they prove youwrong. Inconceivable that someone watched this and said, "Lets releasethis and put our names to this."I've seen porn with a more believable plot line.Didn't care for this much.

What went wrong?

Was it the script? OK script, nothing special. We saw the same storybefore. No efforts to make anything special about this movie. Was it acting? The two lead actors were fine. Rest were just awful. Inone scene you see one of the the characters acting as if he is inSesame street. Was it directing?Hmmm, he's sort of directors who can't handle a movie alone. Goodaction scenes and that's about it. He doesn't know how to convert anormal script into a masterpiece or at least a memorable movie. Musicwas so annoying by the way. In short, it was a combination of factors that lead this movie to besomething you wouldn't even remember the next day.

Great Acting, Great Action and Great Plot

This movie was really entertaining. The action started from the secondscene and even though you weren't attached to the characters much, youcould feel the pain they were going through and understand how hard thedecision would be to make.The movie then showed the unhappiness and escape that the lead SeanPatrick Flanery was feeling. The acting by Sean Patrick flanery wasbrilliant. I am surprised he is not a Big Star, because he's amazing.This movie was real. I hate how most new action films rely so much onspecial effects and green screens to complete scenes that lookcompletely fake. This movie actually has realistic special effects.Great film, rent it or buy it.

Solid Action Thriller

Director Robert Kurtzman's first foray into the action/thriller genrecertainly won't be his last. While I have always enjoyed Kurtzman'shorror flicks and magnificent special and make-up effects, I wasanxiously awaiting his directorial debut into another type of film. Iwas not disappointed, as "Deadly Impact" is a solid thriller. JoePantoliano plays an assassin who is wreaking havoc on his victims, andSean Patrick Flannery plays a cop on the team assigned to stop him. AsFlannery's character gets closer to finding the assassin, he becomesthe object of the assassin's wrath and the cat-and-mouse game begins.The two characters try to outwit and out-think each other up, right upuntil the very end. Be sure to grab this on DVD for an entertainingmovie night.

Not Good but not bad

I'll admit that this is not a great movie, the plot is simple and youcan see some turns coming a mile away. However this is an entertainingmovie, the performance by Sean Patrick Flannery is very good and theacting of Joe Pantoliano is excellent. Both are believable and delivergood performances. On the other hand the acting of just about everyoneelse is atrocious especially Carmen Serano she should not be allowed tobe in any more movies towards the end I kept hoping she would be nextto die so I wouldn't have to listen to her anymore. This movies a oneyou should rent on a night when you want to be entertained by amindless movie that doesn't require you to think to much, if you dothat you will have fun.

Thrill Ride

This movie is defiantly worth checking out. Flannery and Pantoliaon work well together. Suspense through the whole movie, and a killer ending.

Kurtzman does it right with Deadly Impact!

I don't want to write anything that will spoil this fine feature formovie-goers, so I'll keep it as generic as I can: If you are a fan ofaction/suspense movies like The Bourne Identity, Die Hard, or LethalWeapon, grab some popcorn and watch Robert Kurtzman's DEADLY IMPACT.Pitted against a criminal mastermind (Joe Pantoliano) are apsychologically wounded cop (Sean Patrick Flanery) and a fiery LatinaFBI Agent (Carmen Serano). If you like fast, well-choreographed,visually stimulating action movies, Deadly Impact really delivers.Veteran horror film-maker Kurtzman knows how to get the most from hisactors, and Flanery, Serano, and Pantoliano prove this as Kurtzmanjumps into the action/suspense world in a very big way, makingAlexander Vesha's story a movie-screen roller-coaster you won't want tomiss.

A decent watch

In all honesty, I really enjoyed this movie. It was a decent thriller.It reminded me a little of the TV show 24 for some reason, maybe thestoryline. Flanery and Pantoliano do a pretty good job and really makethis film. I think the movie could have been better with a differentfemale lead, she just didn't seem to suit the part. I must say though,she is a hottie!! Most of the rest of the cast just make up thenumbers. One downfall was that I didn't really like how music playedthrough most of the movie, I don't understand why they do this.If you like movies in the same genre as speed and the like you willenjoy this one.

Entertaining From Start to Finish

This film kept me entertained from start to finish. It reminded me of"Speed" or "Blown Away" with the same type of tension and suspensethroughout the story, with interplay between the cop and the killer.Sean Patrick Flannery did a great job as a cop who rejoins the policeforce to track his old foe, an assassin played by Joe Pantoliano. Thesupporting cast, including Greg Serano as the cop's partner and CarmenSerano as an FBI agent also tracking the assassin, did a nice job aswell, though they are not as seasoned as Flannery and Pantoliano. Thesoundtrack was great and really added to the film. This is definitelyworth a look on DVD, although I am disappointed it is not going to bereleased on Blu-Ray.

Edge of your seat thriller

This is a great cat and mouse movie. Sean Patrick Flanery is brilliant as the detective hot on the trail of a serial bomber. Full of action from start to finish this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat.

deadly impact? not likely

First of all, I love a decent action flick as much as the other guy,given it has a good story, good acting, some nice twists, good actionsequences, (keep in mind, I said GOOD and NICE, not PHENOMENAL orBRILLIANT)and let's not forget about the mandatoryblond/brunette/redhead bombshell. Deadly Impact has none of the above.Apart from it's cheesy title, the only two good things in this movieare Sean Patrick Flanery and Joe Pantoliano - that's why I gave it 2stars instead of 0 - , and even they are far from their usual acting.It took me half the movie to realize that Carmen Serano really IS thefemale lead in this movie, and I can't understand why on earth wouldthe producers/casting/director/studio choose an ugly-tranny-lookalikewhen there are so much more rising - and HOT - female stars out there.And some who CAN act, too. Not even Sean Patrick Flanery's shaggy,beat-up-look - which is always welcome - can't save this one fromsinking. Final report: don't bother, unless you have absolutely nothingto do for about one and a half hours. Watch The Boondock Saintsinstead! (both)

Surprising suspenses

From before the title even appears you're given a mini-movie that let'syou know from the start this is no formula flick. please don't letthose talking about plot holes etc discourage you from seeing this.It's fun, it's full of surprising twists and it doesn't have anoverwhelming amount of super-sicko stuff that make you wonder what kindof pervs the writers must be. Yes you must suspend your belief at times but no more than in mostmovies of this type, and this one is much less predictable than most. Iactually applauded at the ending because there's no way you can see itcoming. Think of a Bruce Willis movie, only with the Bruce Willis partbeing played by Satan as the bad guy in the film. There is plenty ofaction and the only really predictable part is the survival of the leadand a steamy roll around on the floor with the love interest. I highly recommend you ignore the negative reviews and watch. it's oneof the few movies I've seen lately that has the mature subject matterof a plot that doesn't make you ashamed to have seen it. surprisingly suspenseful, unpredictable and a satisfying conclusionwithout too much gore or sicko stuff (not even that much cursing excepta spattering of F's and MF's here and there, noticeably lighter thanmost films). . Not much more than that you can ask of a thriller
