   I was hoping this was going to be amusing but it was actually just really boring with bargain basement production values. 10 years 7 months ago

   Chad McQueen (yes, relation) plays martial artist cop Sean "Martial Law" Thompson in the B-movie vehicle bearing his nickname, with Cynthia Rothrock as his partner Billie (professionally and romantically) and David Carradine as an evil "fixer" Rhodes who'll get you anything for a price, and maybe kill your henchman with kung fu (for fun) while he's at it. Both lend significant martial arts cred to the movie. Thompson is drawn into this slime's sphere when his screw-up kid brother gets a job for Rhodes, and you immediately get the sense than his days are numbered. Still, for a B-movie of this sort, there's some fair dialog and the plot isn't as cliched as one would expect. In particular, I really like the relationship between the two leads, a supportive couple that avoids the expected histrionics in favor of just kicking ass together. I like his mom too. The fights (since that's why we're here) are well done, even if the budget doesn't allow for anything too spectacular in terms of action set pieces. 2 years 3 months ago
