Relentless (1989)
6/10
Decent thriller, but.....

... It doesn't feel like a William Lustig movie! The lack of sleaziness is apparent, it's as though he was told to rein it in, and make a Hollywood friendly version of one of his movies!

With a bit more oomph added, this could have been a higher budget 'Maniac' type film. It's easy to watch and the time passes quickly, but for me it all just seemed so tame. Good production values though.

And for me there's one really bad actor in it, who just doesn't seem believable in their role, but I won't name them, I'm sure anyone who watches will come to the same conclusion.. The partnership between the two main cops is good though, and the odd bit of humour here and there lifts the film.

Worth a watch if you can find the DVD for a reasonable price. Once seen though, I don't think it's a film many will revisit.
