Disturbing yet enthralling

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

As I was reading some harsh reviews of Hawk's Vengeance here, I was wondering what their authors were looking for? As a b-movies lover and GaryDaniels fan, I know what to expect from the start, I just want to be entertained for one and half an hour, nothing more! And as most of Gary Daniels flicks from the 90's, like Firepower, Deadly Target, Rage or Recoil, this one delivers! With plenty of action scenes, some funny lines and an overall decent story line, this TV movie kicks the butt of most blockbuster's Hollywood have to offer in this decade.

I am a big Gary Daniels fan, and even I found this movie to be boring and unexciting! Not enough fights, bad acting(except for Daniels), and a terrible, weak villian. Plus, all the fights were horribly slow because nobody Gary fought was able to keep up with him. Add to all this low production values, and you have easily one of Gary's worst movies. Why was this released by a big company, and none of his good ones were, I'll never know.

Daniels plays a Special Forces Royal Marine, Hawk, whose stepbrother has been murdered, and who comes to the US exact vengeance. His opponent is played by martial arts choreographer and JKD practitioner Cass Magda. Daniels had no control over the fight scenes and they, like the film, are no great shakes. The plot is completely unbelievable - he goes on the rampage with impunity and no-one, not even the law intervenes. His character simply murders in cold blood and gets away with it. Didn't enjoy it.

Martial Arts action star Gary Daniels play a British cop (!) who is in Montreal looking for the guys that killed his stepbrother. The film has some good scenes like when Daniels attacked a skinhead headquarters dressed as a Fire inspector, but the film is still another tried action films that seems to run like it was originally a plot for a SNAKEEATER film. The evil villain henchman consist of an old guy and a black guy with a switchblade, and they are supposed to be a feared crime organization!. It is good to see Daniels move up from super low-budget to standard budget action films, but it'll be interesting to see him do a comedy once, for there is something comical about him. The film's fatal flaw is that Garr and Daniels never had a one on one (marine to marine) meeting before they finally meet and fight one on one.
