Review of Martial Law

Martial Law (1990 Video)
6/10
The female action Jackson
11 June 2020
I dont know whether to appreciate these these movies or look at them in disbelief. I watched martial law 2 first by accident before I seen this one. And the two were similar and had nothing to do with each other. I remember hearing about cynthia when I was younger so now that I'm 41 years old and have time I decided to catch back up on the 90s action flicks I missed. And I'm impressed.

This disappointing part is how far they go to use stereotypes in these movies. The black dudes always look typical and usually a superstar small role with the same hair cuts. Even the same as the Asian guys. Known karate experts barely talk. It's sad how much they ripped off from Japan.

And of course your typical white guy who seems to have learned from the asians hand taught "grew up in Hong Kong" type. The whole raised by wolves type of plot. One of a kind.

With that said this movie gets a 6 from me only cause it sticks with the plot. You can follow this movie super easy. The one liners were pretty good. But the acting wasnt that terrible. Its definitely re watchable.

I would have gave it an 8 but i dont recall anything blown up. I dont recall any nudity and david carradine saved the bad guy scenes. But not his best acting. Cynthia saved this movie. Her high kicking antics made it watchable
