The star presumably had one eye on the paycheque in this by-the-numbers thriller about a debt collector punching and shooting his way to bloody revenge
ntonio Banderas is a class act but there’s only so much class he can reasonably be expected to supply. Taking what was presumably an attractive paycheque, Banderas stars in a movie whose essential personality could only be appreciated if Blockbuster Video were to be brought back to life, just for one week, so this could be placed in the straight-to-video bin next to every till.
Veteran screenwriter W Peter Ilff has dug this one out of his desk drawer and Australian adman-turned-film-maker Richard Hughes directs. Banderas plays ’Cuda , a careworn Miami debt collector and ex-con, working for Estelle , scary club owner and mob boss.
This movie hangs together plausibly enough although there are plotholes, and perhaps it would have had more punch if it was ’Cuda’s actual daughter, as opposed to daughter-substitute, who had been taken.
