Finbar-1 I was duped into wasting 1 1/2 hours of my valuable life on this movie because the poster looked like it might be a decent cop movie and the fact that they cast Sean Patrick Flanery who acted in one of my favourite movies of all time (Boondock Saints).As the subject line says, it was full of lame; the story was unbelievable and full of holes, I couldn't find myself caring about this guy who loses his wife, Pantoliano's character was more of a tool than threatening, and I was disappointed that Flanery's acting was so bad. I believe this may have been because he appeared to be trying to hide his Irish accent which was so great in Saints. I am not sure why producers try to do this (except when it is obviously important to the story); albeit some actors are much better than others (eg Colin Farrell in Miami Vice).I try to provide some positive in my reviews (this one is hard), so lets just say watch this purely to put more money into Flanery's pocket to thank him for Saints.

samuel_bisson I feel that the rating for this movie needs a little boost from the reviews that are already present. This movie was a lot of fun from the start to the end; a lot better than most of the big blockbusters that come out of the same genre. It's nothing special in the plot line, but I often feel like watching something in the line of Die Hard 3 meets Face/Off and this did it for me. There are certainly things that weren't great, but for me the only thing I have to mention is that it should have spent some more time in post production. The music and colouring really needed some more attention. Don't get me wrong, most of the movie was well coloured and edited, but some scenes (especially the outdoor scenes) made you realize that it was on a moderate budget. I guess that's when they were running out of money and needed to get it out to print.Overall, I would recommend this movie if like cop-terrorist game movies. A lot of action, good pace, solid ending.

ithacared66 I'll admit that this is not a great movie, the plot is simple and you can see some turns coming a mile away. However this is an entertaining movie, the performance by Sean Patrick Flannery is very good and the acting of Joe Pantoliano is excellent. Both are believable and deliver good performances. On the other hand the acting of just about everyone else is atrocious especially Carmen Serano she should not be allowed to be in any more movies towards the end I kept hoping she would be next to die so I wouldn't have to listen to her anymore. This movies a one you should rent on a night when you want to be entertained by a mindless movie that doesn't require you to think to much, if you do that you will have fun.

chickie248 Director Robert Kurtzman's first foray into the action/thriller genre certainly won't be his last. While I have always enjoyed Kurtzman's horror flicks and magnificent special and make-up effects, I was anxiously awaiting his directorial debut into another type of film. I was not disappointed, as "Deadly Impact" is a solid thriller. Joe Pantoliano plays an assassin who is wreaking havoc on his victims, and Sean Patrick Flannery plays a cop on the team assigned to stop him. As Flannery's character gets closer to finding the assassin, he becomes the object of the assassin's wrath and the cat-and-mouse game begins. The two characters try to outwit and out-think each other up, right up until the very end. Be sure to grab this on DVD for an entertaining movie night.
