Nick Mancuso

Rise of the Gargoyles
$14.95
As another reviewer said a bit too much blood but overall a good "B" creature feature

Contract Killers
$17.99
Contract Killers may have looked better on paper, but the more I dwell on it, the less I think anything could make it look better.

The movie follows a conspiracy theory of higher ups in the intelligence community plotting mysterious wicked things. Our hero, an assassin who calls herself Jane, gets involved via a contract she pulled off, and she becomes enraged when she wakes up to find her husband murdered. The FBI comes to take her away, she brutally kills some innocent S.W.A.T. members who were trying to apprehend her, she escapes thanks to one smokebomb a gasleak and a scooter, and I immediately lose respect for both the protaganist and the film in the first ten minutes.

From there we race off into danger. Although, instead of "race" I should say we begin at a moderate pace. Somewhere around a jog, not a sprint. And the danger turns out to be a some other assassin hot on her tail and another government official.

The action scenes are what you would expect a handful of teenagers re-enacting their favorite scenes from the Bourne trilogy to film. Which is to say that they're boring.

The plot held a bit of mystery, too bad that mystery was revealed to be a big plate of boring and forgettable. Also, once the mystery was revealed, the movie finally decides to actually race somewhere: the ending. Forget dwelling on any of the implications of the reveal, or even, I don't know, giving the reveal some kind of climatic feel whatsoever, we are immediately picked up and placed down in the final shootout of the film. A couple of epilogues for the characters of both teams and the credits roll.

I, luckily, got this one for free and was hesitant to watch it, but the cover finally convinced me that maybe there was some kind of fun to be had from Contract Killers. Nope, wrong, there isn't!

Time of Fear
$9.98
Time of Fear is a pretty good thriller about an ex-cop and an FBI agent tracking down a crazy murderer. Nick Mancuso does a good job playing the ex-cop, tormented by the murder of his daughter and driven to find her killer.

If you have seen alot of these films, then you will spot the killer early on but the movie will still be worth watching.

$6.99
