Um yeah, this film was basically a really, really terrible 'Speed' knock off (minus the bus, the tension, the acting skill, a decent plot, a decent DP and director) that was so bad that it actually became comedic by the end - I don't even consider it good enough to warrant a 'made for TV' status. Yep, it really is that bad.Honestly, don't waste your time - and whatever you do, please don't be fooled into wasting 96 minutes of your life, like I was, by the fact that this schlock features two known actors (Sean Patrick Flanery and Joe Pantoliano).I don't think I've seen a film this bad since I was foolish enough to watch one of the those cheap straight-to-DVD knock-offs with names like 'Transmorfers' and 'I Am Omega' - I'm actually surprised that Mark Dacasos didn't make an appearance in this film.The biggest disappointment of all for me was the fact that Joe Pantoliano got involved with this thing - does he have some massive gambling debts or something? Or maybe they forgot to give him his acting career back when they reinserted him into the Matrix?

Find a spot at the edge of your seat and get comfortable. "Deadly Impact" will have your stomach in knots within the first 10 minutes.After mastermind assassin David Kaplow (Joe Pantoliano) proves the strength of his capabilities early on, there's little time to ask why, but rather when.This highly suspenseful film is so captivating, the smallest disturbance will have you jumping.Realistic but horrifying scenarios are so mind-boggling, audience members are left wondering how anyone could make the decisions police officer Tom Armstrong (Sean Patrick Flanery) faces, and survive.Intense, non-stop action, a splash of romance and equipped with a satisfying ending, "Deadly Impact" is a flick for thrill seekers.Written by Columbus native Alexander Vesha and directed by Robert Kurtzman of Precinct 13 Entertainment in Crestline, "Deadly Impact" makes the perfect flick for thrill seekers.

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.

I don't want to write anything that will spoil this fine feature for movie-goers, so I'll keep it as generic as I can: If you are a fan of action/suspense movies like The Bourne Identity, Die Hard, or Lethal Weapon, grab some popcorn and watch Robert Kurtzman's DEADLY IMPACT. Pitted against a criminal mastermind (Joe Pantoliano) are a psychologically wounded cop (Sean Patrick Flanery) and a fiery Latina FBI Agent (Carmen Serano). If you like fast, well-choreographed, visually stimulating action movies, Deadly Impact really delivers. Veteran horror film-maker Kurtzman knows how to get the most from his actors, and Flanery, Serano, and Pantoliano prove this as Kurtzman jumps into the action/suspense world in a very big way, making Alexander Vesha's story a movie-screen roller-coaster you won't want to miss.
