FIRING LINE, THE(1988)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
A war story in South America! I don't do war
movies! C-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
In yet another case of misleading marketing,
this film is included in a 10-movie DVD set
called "Women Who Kick Butt", but even in its
original cover it seems to promise Shannon
Tweed in an action role. Actually, during
most of the movie Tweed plays the typical
whiny and prissy female character who has
to be rescued by the male lead, and even
when she's trained in jungle warfare she
still has to be dragged around by him!
There is one female rebel who is a stronger
character, but she's mostly kept in the
margins of the movie. The male lead is Reb
Brown, and he does have some (unintentionally,
I think) funny moments (like when he gets
electrocuted). The action scenes are badly
directed and poorly acted: some of the
stuntmen needed a few lessons on "how
to get shot and die convincingly". I
suppose if you're in the right mood you
can find some things in "Firing Line"
to laugh at (at one point, we can hear
Tweed speaking but her lips are not
moving!), but mostly I was just
bored. (*) - gridoon
