Jack Hazard (Aaron Norris) is an L.A. cop who's wish is just to relax and stay out of trouble. Jack can't seem to relax after the department forces him to take some time off after a raid goes bad. In the end though, he's going to need another vacation.Just like his real life brother Chuck Norris, Aaron Norris smashes, dashes, and clashes with the baddies in this film. Aaron is a one man wrecking crew.IN THIS MOVIE AARON PROVES 3 THINGS: 1- He's every bit the martial artist his brother is. (After all Chuck is the one who trained him.)2- He's a fairly okay actor and with time would have got better.3- And if he had not gone into directing, he could have become an action star.Don't pay attention to all the bad reviews about this movie, It's not that bad. I actually thought this film was pretty good, with some good fight scenes and action scenes too. Conclusion - If you are a Chuck Norris fan, then you will like Aaron Norris in OVERKILL too. I really OVERJOYED OVERKILL..

After a drug raid goes ridiculously bad, police officer Jack Hazard (Chuck's brother, Aaron Norris) takes a vacation to South America, but good ol' Jack can't stay out of trouble for long. He finds himself on the run from the local authorities after a fisticuff lands him in prison. Oh that Hazard, can't take that lovable scamp anywhere.A truly awful film any way you slice it. Atrocious acting, extremely sub-par action scenes, bizarre characterization. Just pretty unwatchable stuff. Not so bad that it's good. Just so bad that it's bad. Chuck Norris should just punch this film out of existence and save his brother some embarrassment .

This movie has a special place in my heart. I suppose if you're looking for a good action flick or a story with any substance, this ain't the one for you. However, if you have a forgiving sense of humor, appreciate trite cinema clichés, bad over-acting, bad under-acting, shallow, vapid writing, ridiculous stunt work and slapstick-like choreography, you've come to the right place.You can play a great drinking game with this movie. Every time a character uses a redundant line or explains what is happening for the viewer's sake, take a drink. You'll be smashed.I think my favorite scene in the movie comes up early. There is a struggle in the hotel lobby. Lt. Jack Hazard starts to wreck shop, but the guy he is destined to reluctantly protect is being strangled under a water fountain in the plaza! He manages to survive for the minute or two it takes Jack to get everything under control, but by the pained look on his face you can clearly tell that he is having trouble breathing, the water is splashing all over his face! He makes very loud choking sounds so you can tell he's really suffocating!This one should go down in history.

This is the kind of movie that's so bad it's funny, and that almost makes it worth watching. Every move and every line is such an unrealistic clichè it will haunt you for days...And the acting...Don't get me started.
