This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Alright I'll start this off by saying the box cover is a lie, and a confusing lie at that. Leo Rossi is featured prominently there, but has about 12 minutes of screen time and is not the focus of this movie. Despite appearing nowhere on the front cover, this movie stars Jeffrey "Re-Animator" Combs as a reporter(?) who captured footage of a drug deal/political agenda killing(?) and is being chased by drug dealers/cops/crooked and/or non-crooked government agents(?) You'll notice there's a bit of uncertainty in this statement, and that's because despite having watched this movie in its' entirety I'm not quite sure what happened. This movie is either the greatest action movie spoof of all time, or the most clichéd attempt at a serious action film of all time, all I know for sure is that I loved it. This movie has a downright stellar cast, Ashley Laurence(Hellraiser series), Lance Henrickson(everything ever made), David Warner(everything else), Charles Napier(that guy that's played a general in everything for the past 30 years), and the man himself, Joe Don Baker. The strangest thing about this movie is its' focal point. For the first 30 minutes or so it's nearly impossible to figure out who our star is. The movie jumps from character to character almost desperately searching for someone to follow. It almost feels like this was supposed to be a vehicle for an 80's action star, but the filmmakers couldn't secure one so they just shot the movie based on the secondary characters from the script. It really does play out like the intended gun-toting catchphrase spouting protagonist just forgot to show up. The movie gives us shootouts, car chases, explosions and double crosses, and you'll be hard pressed to figure out what's going on even when they explain it. This may not be your cup of tea, but I was absolutely astounded.

Whew, this movie tried but failed in my book.They seemed to try to make this a mind movie, twisting and turning characters in your head of who's who. seems everybodies not who they say they are, or are people who are all conniving without others knowing. They took shootings, chases and car chases into unbelievable situations.the acting is horrible, as they try to make everybody cool, but in fact, all woulda been killed if the situation was real. they made the cops look dumb and the crooks look like they were cool when in fact made it look fake. the ending was just so dumb on who the main character was. when he shoots the bad guy at the end, he does a summersault for no reason, it was like, why? you gotta be kidding!!SPOILER = the main character is shot, whacked over head repeatedly with tennis racket, jumps off a 50 foot bridge, jumps through a plate-glass window, then flies off car thru store window, punched etc.. and he goes on with no apparent injurythe only reason i finished this movie was because my remote controls battery died and i was too lazy to get up to turn off. id only recommend this movie if there was nothing but infomercials or romantic chick flicks onOK, OK, i know this was a little harsh, but its my review, take it or leave it. hehe i gave it a 5 only because they actually got it into theatres.Now, if they took the basic plot and rewrote it, it might actually be a better movie

Lance Henriksen has a knack for being the top name in a B-movie, even in this case starring along side Charles Napier, Master Control Program, and Joe Don Baker. As always he does a great job of being the bad guy, but the plot is just bad (don't even get me started about the ending). And the editing is so horrible it might actually be a thing of beauty. Is it just me, or does it seem that Joe Don Baker was spliced into the movie at the last minute? Also, anytime glass is broken in this movie, the editing is so anti-phenomenal. Lastly, after watching this, I figure David Warner is dying for Tron 2.0 to finally get the green light.Unfortunately for Felony, this will be the third movie I give the rating of 1/10, joining Iron Eagle IV and No Mercy.

I saw this film only because I really liked Combs in "Re-Animator" and "The Frighteners". "Felony", however is a low-budget, slow-moving and predictable film and Combs is its only saving grace, and even he can't make it work.For die hard Combs/action fans only.A 3 out of 10.
