Review of Crime Killer

Crime Killer (1987)
6/10
Very competent B grade cop movie
10 February 2023
I typically try to watch vanity project movies because they tend to be trainwrecks that are filled with a mixture of all the ingredients that make for a good bad movie. This George Pan-Andreas(Zeus) vanity project resulted in a fine if not unremarkable movie.

Zeus is the best cop the force has but is forced to retire due to him having to take out some bad cops. Luckily for Zeus there is a plot to murder the president of the United States and the government has no one better to handle the situation other than this amazing local detective.

The movie has a few laughs from bad dialogue, illogical storytelling or editing but is mostly well shot, acted and directed. George Pan-Andreas, despite Engilsh not being his first language, does great with his lines and doesn't sound far out of place. The action scenes are sometimes decent but mostly boring since Zeus can only punch or shoot people.

The movie ends setting up a sequel that never seems to happen but it looks as if he was able to carve out a living in the acting/teaching realm.

I can't really recommend this one because it is not good enough to stand out in the ultimate cop/action genre but it isn't bad enough to be enjoyable.
