Lorenzo Lamas isn’t totally incapable of acting, as he has shown in various other projects, but Final Impact tries to be a drama and a kickboxing movie and is entirely unsatisfactory as both.

Amazon are trying to sell this with the description “The boundaries between real life and fantasy becomes blurred when Robbie and Amy play night games…”, which may give you the wrong impression about the kind of action this movie contains.

I warn you, this film features a laconic performance by David Duchovny. Unlike most of double d’s roles, which are energy packed.
