A great film of revenge and justice Lou is simply fantastic and a great cast to go with him. You actually get drawn into lou's role definitely gets the adrenaline pumping just watching it!! Brilliant

Ferrigno, (Special Forces fighter John Bradley) left the army six months ago, and is suffering PTSD. After travelling to the UK he's drawn into the world of Razor (Jerry Anderson), a drug dealer with a very sadistic nature. This is the usual trope that we see in these movies: Razor's henchmen rape Bradley's daughter on her dining room table, and commit other awful acts, which are meant to convince us viewers that what follows is perfectly justified. There is no tongue-in-cheek humour in all this and I kept wondering how all this mayhem could be going on with no apparent police reaction.I like watching action and war movies but frankly, this film was a bit too hardcore for me. If you like gore and sadism it'll be your kind of movie.

Instant Death is like a 70's grindhouse exploitation film on speed. Okay, I have to say, I have been an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan since I saw "Predator" in 1987. Technically, can Arnold "act"? No. But people that is NOT what you watch an action movie for. You want acting? Watch Shakespeare. Lou Ferrigno is a delight to see and watch. Unlike Steven Seagal, Lou hasn't "let himself go" physically. On the contrary, Lou Ferrigno is arguably in the best shape of his life in this film. Thanks to Director / Producer Ara Paiaya for digging up this 80's icon and bringing him back to the mainstream better than he has ever looked, acted and for creating such an action packed melodrama. I was a kid in the late 70's/early 80's, one of my favorite TV shows was the cult classic "The Incredible Hulk". Like it even more now at the age of 50! Aren't I terrible?! Watch "Instant Death" for what it is. A KICK-BUTT action film by a body building LEGEND!

This is a well made revenge action film, Its director Ara Paiaya, made a great job in the martial arts choreography that fitted well with Lou Ferrigno's talents. Ferrigno's acting was very good for an action centered film. They should do a sequel or at least a few more action films. This is not a high budget film but the story treatment and editing is more than adequate for its limitations money wise.This should just be good start of a series of more Ferrigno action films.
