Heated Vengeance

I am at a loss to try to answer the question as to why some people apparently thought this direct to video loser was worthy enough to be re-released on DVD more than twenty years later. Though it promises a lot of jungle action, there isn't much. In fact, in the first hour of the movie, there are only a couple of minutes or so of what could be considered action. There is a little more action in the last thirty minutes, but it's extremely lame, directed without any passion. In short, what we have here is a truly boring movie. I will admit it's not without merit. The movie looks very nice, filming on picturesque locations in south-east Asia that give the movie an authentic feel. And Dennis Patrick makes his character charming, though he isn't given that much to do. Apart from those two things, the movie has absolutely nothing to entertain B movie fans, unless you think that the sight of Michael J. Pollard without his shirt sounds enticing.
