Relentless (1989)
5/10
Expected more, but it's serviceable enough
15 January 2009
Judd Nelson stars as Buck Taylor, a psychopath who picks his victims out of the telephone book. New LA detective Sam Dietz (Leo Rossi) and grizzled veteran Sam Malloy (Robert Loggia) are tasked with bringing him down in this thriller from Director William Lustig (Maniac, Vigilante) and writer Phil Robinson (All of Me, Field of Dreams)

With the kind of pedigree and talent of those involved, I was expecting more of this film then what I got. I was hoping for a film that stood out from the vast myriad of serial killer films out there. What I got was more of the same and this film was as interchangeable with all the other average films of it's ilk. The only thing notable whatsoever about this movie was the fine performance that Judd Nelson gave, but it was totally unremarkable otherwise. Not really a bad film, merely one you'll feel like you've seen before.
