To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the release of the only truly flawless movie released in the last fifty years, I have decided to share the following review of the classic awe-inspiring Fatal Deviation, Ireland's first and only Kung Fu movie. Set in the wondrously modern town of Trimm, the film is a timeless tale of revenge told from the perspective of the most three dimensional character ever portrayed in art. Jimmy Bennett as a child, witnessed his father decapitated by a local hoodlum, played by the ever versatile thespian Michael Regan. And so begins the beautifully crafted character arc, from helpless infant, to fearless lethal weapon told over 80 minutes of relentless action. Along the way there is the greatest love story between the ever persecuted Jimmy and the golden-era Hollywoodesque beauty Nicola. (the mesmerising dearly missed Nicola O'Sullivan) Legend has it that following this movie O'Sullivan was abducted by Aliens and currently is Queen of Mulletworld, the largest planet in the Sirius star system. Howqever, I would like to think she just gave up acting, knowing she could never top this epically glorious cinematic debut. Mikey Graham already world famous as member of the rock group Boyzone, gives a star-making turn as a drug dealing henchman, chewing so much scenery that they surely must have gone well beyond their initial £9000.00 budget. The film set the world alight in 1998, and it the embers can still be seen from space. You only ever see this film for the first time once, and those that haven't do not delay. Your life will never be the same.

To call this just a film would be tantamount to calling Da Vinci just a mere artist or Scorcese an amateur.I believe this film has the ability to change lives and should be introduced into School Ciriculums to combat drug-abuse, underage smoking and drinking and would also eradicate underage pregnancies.The lessons learned in this has already made me stop smoking 100 Mayfair before breakfast, and I've even stopped drinking 3 bottles of Frosty Jack a day, which is around 20% of my daily requirement of Frosty Jack.The lessons learned in this masterpiece, if viewed by our representatives in Parliament definitely has the power to stop wars and allow some form of united world socialism.Bless you Shay Casserly, and Jimmy Bennet for introducing me to what can be accomplished with shared vision and a beautiful philosophy that underlies this masterclass of film-making.

1998's Fatal Deviation is an Irish direct to video martial arts film written and starring tike sized fighter, James P. Bennett, im going to be frank, this movie is what I call "A beautiful failure" this movie is horrible in every facet, The acting, the soundtrack, the stunts, the story, the dialog, and the film quality are all at best laughable, but with all this ridiculousness it finds...zen if you will, much like other films in its category (at least to me) The Room, Troll 2, Hobgoblins, and The animated Titanic films, Final Deviation transcends horrible film making to the point that you are forced to enjoy it as you belt out laughing... I suggest everyone watch it but only if you are in the mood for a funny and down right silly time (its free on youtube).Fatal Deviation (1998) 8/10 (for all the wrong reasons)

Possibly the greatest movie ever made, complete with carefully interwoven subplots thats keeps the viewer guessing for days afterwards.Mickey Graham is nothing short of spectacular and James P. Bennett plays the role with all the coolness and natural ability of Bruce Lee, but also has the emotional acting ability of a young Marlon Brando or Humphrey Bogarts performance in The Big Sleep.As far as scenery, you couldn't wish for a more serene setting than Trim, its a character in itself, just like Sergio Leone's mid 1960s westerns. This is a celebration of joy.
