bonjomonjah Do not watch this movie it is a joke, Jeff Fahey is OK but the rest of the cast are awful. The plot is silly, the acting is terrible apart from Fahey. I was very disappointed as it could of been a good movie and im a big fan of B movies but this just takes the biscuit. Even the stunts are bad, for me a movie don't have to be perfect by any means but i simply could not tolerate this even though i sat through the entire movie. All i can really say is avoid this flick it has nothing to offer witch is a big shame with Jeff Fahey looking very cool as the burnt out cop delivering some justice for his dead partner. Shame shame shame.......

Comeuppance Reviews "The Underground" is another guilty pleasure from PM Entertainment. The plot: Fahey plays Brian Donnegan, a clichéd cop character who has to stop the killings of rap stars. He gets in too deep after his partner is killed. Now he stop the murders any way possible. He's doin' it freestyle...Because this is PM flick, you can expect good stunts. The pyrotechnics are cool and the car chase at the end is a blast. Jeff Fahey puts in an emotionless performance, but it works. The plot is silly and the dialogue worse, but that's part of the B-movie fun. If you like this one, I also recommend "Hologram Man". In the end: If you like Jeff Fahey (and who doesn't...) or PM movies (and who doesn't...), check this one out.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

HaemovoreRex Jeff Fahey stars in this amusing little addition to the extensive catalogue of action output from PM Entertainment. As with all output by the PM guys, you can therefore rest assured on lots of super cool car chases, fights, shooting and explosions will ensue and sure enough, this entry doesn't disappoint. What really makes this stand out though is the bizarre and somewhat ridiculous plot which involves a seventies disco group who take revenge upon a former fellow member after he makes the huge mistake of sampling some of their old material into modern gangster rap tracks(!!!!!!!) Well, how can anyone not warm to such an hilariously daft story line?Fahey turns in an incredibly laid back performance yet nonetheless, is great fun to watch as always and his new partner played by Michael Mcfall, is similarly entertaining in a role that had the budget been bigger, might have gone to Samuel Jackson.Well, what more can be said? If you've ever watched anything from the PM guys before, you'll know exactly what to expect and if you haven't yet had the pleasure of a PM release then why not take this opportunity to try one?

Zantara Xenophobe WARNING: This review has some minor story SPOILERS, so you may not wish to read it.I admit that Jeff Fahey's name no longer attracts my attention to a movie. After all, the last movie I watched with him in it was the silly `Serpent's Lair.' What actually made me watch `The Underground' was the presence of my favorite actor, the late Brion James. James is good, as usual, as the police captain. Whenever he is on the screen, the movie is great. What surprised me is that whenever he is not on screen, the movie stayed good. Fahey turned in a good acting job here, and so did the rest of the cast. `The Underground' has a simple plot about a detective on a case of a trio of guys that wear Abraham Lincoln masks as they murder up and coming rap stars. The rap stars all have a connection to a shady record producer, and Fahey and his partner are talking to the producer, nicknamed `The Hound,' when the killers strike. A rapper, a production crew, and Fahey's partner are left dead. Fahey gets a new partner, played by Michael McFall, and the two of them must adjust to each other before tracking down the killers. This doesn't sound like much, but it is much better than I have described. See, the killers are a former disco group from the 1970's called Las Vegas Disco Express. The Hound used to be a member, and recently used some of their old music in new rap music with a process known as `sampling.' The remaining Las Vegas Disco Express members are not pleased, and want to be reimbursed. I personally hate rap and disco, and I had the feeling that the makers of the movie shared my feeling on rap, mainly that rap artists that use sampling are wrongfully stealing from other (better) artists and have no real creativity themselves. The idea that disco artists were bumping off rap artists just seemed funny to me. Sorry, rap fans. In addition to this, there are also a couple of exciting car chase scenes that are done way better than the ones in many big budget movies. I felt they were very realistic thanks to the way director Cole S. McKay handled them. McKay also handled the scenes between Fahey and McFall well. The two actors have routine roles and they boost them above that blandness so that you love to watch them. Unfortunately, the movie has a set of flaws, and they hurt the film badly. The first is the tired cliché of the detective's wife that can't cope with the detective's job. The scenes rightfully establish that Fahey has a life outside his job, but I wish they had come up with something better than that. Fahey's screen wife is Debbie James, whose film highlight is starring in `976-EVIL 2.' As his model-wife, she is lifeless. Another annoying problem is numerous times where someone will announce an incorrect body count. There are two shootouts where many people are left dead, but the dialogue only admits the deaths of the important characters. Flaw three is a big SPOILER, so don't go on if you are going to see it. It involved the ending, which ends too soon. The film abandons the fate of two of the three Las Vegas Disco Express members. It just stops without resolving that issue or even the issue of Fahey and his wife. It's too bad, because the movie is good otherwise, and I would have rated it higher. Zantara's score: 6 out of 10.
