Outlaw: Black Dagger

Yakuza lieutenants attempt to ignore their favorite scotch.

Verson Jetorix:” The fifth installment of the Outlaw series starring Tetsuya Watari as Goro the Assassin. Once again, Goro tries to go straight but gets caught between two warring yakuza gangs. This film is just as clever and fun – and violent – as the previous four; terrific knife fights in abandoned or industrial spaces, broken bodies and hearts, and plenty of vengeance. This time there is a flashback to fill in some of Goro’s backstory, and a dual role for Chieko Matsubara.”

Highway to Hell

There is no J&B in Hell. Just a reminder.

Verson Jetorix: “Chad Lowe and his girlfriend Kristy Swanson are eloping to Vegas. They take an old road through the desert and unfortunately, as Chad nods at the wheel, they slip onto the highway to hell where a Hellcop abducts Kristy. Now Chad must outwit the Devil himself (Patrick Bergen) to get her back. This was much better and more fun than I expected. It is creative, quality production that hits more than it misses with it abundance of eye candy, monsters, and clever bits of business. This is definitely a horror movie, shot in the Arizona desert, but one with an 80s sense of colorful fun. Recommended.”
