BIG STREAMS START OUT AS SMALL RIVERS
Jade (Laurie Love) owes the wrong people money. They kill her new bar tender husband and leave her for dead. She vows revenge and gets help and training from Hammer (Fred "Spearchucker Jones"Williamson) former Viet Nam sniper. After a 10 minute music montage, Jade is a trained killer going after her assailants, each of which has their name painted on a bullet. This is a low budget grindhouse with some camp value thanks to the inability of Laurie Love to deliver her lines and make us believe she is a fighter. There is no character build-up prior to the killing. It is a simple revenge flick, rather poorly done and with ample nudity, the main attraction to the feature, plus the head and body explosions with blood splatter. Bad guys are into heroin and strip clubs, I think you get the idea. F-bombs, sex, nudity (Laurie Love, Amari, Gabrielle, Louise Kay, Brittany Madrid, plus others including Windy West-thank you.)
Low budget actioner fails to impress
Jade (Laurie Love) survives a murder attempt on her wedding night,by the gang she has run away from.Her husband wasn't so lucky. Pawning her wedding ring for a .357 pistol,she writes the names of the culprits on the bullets in blood and goes hunting.Aiding her in her quest for revenge is Hammer (Fred Williamson),who trains her to become a lean mean fighting machine,and kick some serious ass. As with most low/no budget movies (or lo-no's as I now call them)I really don't expect anything spectacular.In recent years I have become quite a fan of them because up and coming directors/actors can often bring something new and interesting to the table.Unfortunately,as with many of them,this one falls way short of the mark. As a revenge flick,it has a simple plot and has quite a lot of action and blood letting (the effects are quite decent).It actually has (in places) a kind of comic book feel to it in it's delivery. However,with the cast,apart from two of the main characters,everybody else comes across as a bit bland and boring.As a standout,Brian Ames steals the show as a decent villain,and Fred Williamson really doesn't have to do much to look good in any movie.Unfortunately he really doesn't do much of anything at all here,but it's nice to see him being given some screen time. Laurie Love appears totally mis-cast here.She certainly looked the part but just doesn't for me come across as a decent action heroine. The action scenes are sadly some of the worst choreographed I've ever seen.The shootouts have the bad guys standing still whilst being shot at,and the fisticuffs are very much "Ok I've hit you now I'll stand here while you hit me" kind of thing.There was no fluidity to the scenes to make them look remotely convincing. Director Brian Skiba appears to have made a step up recently to TV movies and hopefully with a bigger budget and better cast he can produce better results because,despite the above comments,it's obvious he has a lot of potential.I genuinely wish him good luck with that. Overall,fans of low budget actioners who aren't bothered about the quality of movie they're watching,will love this one. I just expected a bit more....
