This is a low-class (almost no-class) action film which has as its main feature two steamy sex scenes. I saw the unrated version which had a lot of French kissing and Michael Pare licking Barbara Carrera's nipple. Carrerra was so sleazy-looking in this movie, so cheap looking, that so sex scenes did nothing for me.Meanwhile, the dialog in this film is incredibly stupid and none of the characters are appealing. We all need somebody to root for, but there is no one here.In a nutshell: this is pure garbage. I am glad to see the other reviewers here share this view.
... View MoreMichael Pare stars as an ex-cop who is hired to protect the wife of a drug-lord(Michael Ironside) however when he starts falling for the wife of said drug-lord, he realizes that he maybe in over his head. I actually saw this for the first time today, when I rented this with Blink Of An Eye, both are Misiorski and Pare collaborations and while Blink Of An Eye was routine yet not completely uninteresting, Point Of Impact represents one of Pare's worst movies. I haven't seen everything from the man but i'm guessing there is no way there are any of his movies that are this super dull. The movie is meant to be erotic but Michael Pare and Barabara Carrera have zero chemistry and I for one was lost in the sludge of conspiracies, love triangles and boredom this movie offered. The pacing which was flawed in Blink Of An Eye, is even worse this time due to the lack of any movement in the story. I didn't have high expectations when I saw this, the cover is incredibly woeful but I expected at least an actual movie not devoid of all entertainment value.1/2* out of 4-(Awful)
... View MoreI bought this one on DVD (titled "Spanish Rose") for only 25 Norwegian Kroner (about 3 U.S. dollars and 50 cent), and normally that doesn't mean quality. It didn't mean that for this movie either. The story in the movie is OK, but no more than that. It's a typical 'single cop fighting against both his superiors and the enemy'-movie, because no one believes what really happened when one of his colleagues died. Sound familiar? The movie was announced as an action-movie, but personally I would say it's more of an action-thriller. There are not that many action scenes in the movie, and they aren't that entertaining either. There are also a couple of really long love scenes that I think had suited better for a soft porn movie. This is a typical sign that the movie isn't any good. And it isn't.
... View MoreThis movie just fails to engage. It's hard to pinpoint anything wrong with it. Barbara Carrera was oh so beautiful, and Michael Ironside was plenty villainous. Ian Yule's cornpone was a bit irritating. But you just can't find yourself caring about any of the characters or what happens to them. Grade: D-
