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.
Top quality crime/coming of age drama from the pound shop? Who’d have thunk it.
One of the more interesting artistic choices that the opening indicates, and is repeated throughout the movie, is the lack of subtitles on the sections conducted in german.
In the end, unlike one of Dolph’s later thrillers, Silent Trigger, Cover-Up doesn’t even give us a ludicrously huge gun to provide amusement through the more tepid sections of the film.
I get the feeling that Shades could have had some kind a second chance. As it is the budget market is the only place you’ll find it for the time being, but it is definitely the kind of discovery that makes it worth digging.
