AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

verbusen This is a cheap take off of Die Hard, but it's memorable once you get past the build up romantic part which is a rip off of Robocop, where the cop is having flashbacks to his wife and kids. I watched it with my wife and she was thoroughly entertained so the romantic parts were good in terms of making it more of a date flick for guys to watch. I was watching it for massive carnage and was instantly amused that Patrick's rifle bullets were all explosive grenade types. Which, outside of a shotgun sized shell, I don't know of explosive bullets in the normal rifle size. This trick was done in Robocop with the bad guys in the end getting the "latest military hardware" in the future so it was easy to suspend belief with that but this is set in 1994 not 2044, so if you are looking for realism skip this one. I knew it would be a cheesy film so was OK with it. Oh, and all the bad guys when they use rifles their bullets don't explode either. Keep an eye on Patrick around the third boss attack, a henchman will be using a rifle and the bullets will be normal, after getting whacked, Patrick picks up the dead henchman's rifle and magically the rifle turned into a grenade launcher as the bullets were exploding! I therefore rationalized that Patrick had magical powers and fired magic bullets! Fun film, loved the carnage, and cheesiness! 7 of 10. BTW, Patrick's magical powers only work on rifles not pistols, lol enjoy.

Zantara Xenophobe This came on television the other day and I decided to watch it. I like Robert Patrick a lot, but I knew nothing about this movie going in. When I saw the credits, I was delighted to see it was made by PM Entertainment. I think PM makes some pretty fine action movies, much better than most of the big studio productions we are fed each and every year, I mean, who could possibly not think `Firetrap' was an awesome movie? Anyway, the only PM movie I thought was bad was `No Escape No Return' (which I coincidentally watched last week), so I was sure I would like `Zero Tolerance.' And I was right. Joseph Merhi takes an otherwise standard plotline and makes it interesting, something that PM does best. Merhi takes an uncomfortably brutal scene early in the movie and makes it something more by cutting to other characters throughout it, fitting the dialogue in perfectly in contrast to the brutal scene happening many miles away. There's not much more I can add to the plot that other people here haven't done so already, so I will skip that part. I will say that I thought Patrick was really wonderful as an FBI agent on the edge after a drug cartel assassinates his family. He brought some fine emotion into the part; the only time he has done better is in his 1996 film `Asylum,' one of my personal favorite movies. Kristen Meadows was good, too. I loved the scenes with her father, who doesn't understand why she has to keep taking off on some assignment during the worst of hours. The father is a nice little touch that you won't find in most action movies. As for the villains, I got a big kick out of seeing Mick Fleetwood play the head of the cartel. He was surprisingly good, as was Miles O'Keefe, playing another of the cartel's big chiefs. O'Keefe's good job is a real treat. I also liked the brief part of Bill Hufsey, as Omar, a wisecracking thug whose biggest joke I am going to have to use one someone someday. The trouble with these great villains is that they aren't given much screen time. Instead, the villain that most screen time is Titus Welliver, the thug responsible for Patrick's grief. Welliver spouts out foul language and consistently points the blame of the mishaps on other people. He gets so annoying that I just wanted Patrick to hurry up and snub him out. Instead, the best villains are taken out too early or in the wrong way. Welliver alone makes the movie less enjoyable than what it should have been. That's not saying the rest of the movie is 100% perfect, either, because I did not like the last scene. *MINOR SPOILER* Aside from the vanishing handcuffs, the scene is bad in that it killed the prevailing theme of the whole movie, that Patrick has to let it all go and let the system take its course. Merhi must have thought that viewers would rather see raw justice. Well, there were ways of doing both (which could have involved one of the other villains). Anyhow, I say this is another winner from PM Entertainment. Just give this movie (as well as other action movies from PM) a chance and you might find yourself engrossed in it. You may even take up my mode of thinking in that PM is a better choice than similar films from the big studios. Zantara's score: 7 out of 10.

doggett_girl If you're looking for an action movie then look no further, with high-adrenaline action scenes from start to finish, Zero Tolerance is the ultimate action flick. Robert Patrick has the starring role as FBI agent Jeff Douglas and yet again he shines. I am always amazed by the emotion he is able to put through in any character he plays and Jeff is no different, you really feel for him and what he's going through. Watching Robert in this film is actually almost like watching a young John Doggett (his character in The X-Files), some familar mannerisms can be spotted, as well as his trademark intensity. The supporting cast is also good, particularly Kristen Meadows as Megan, and also keep an eye out for Barbara Patrick (Robert's real-life wife) playing his wife Wendy in the film. I must admit that I originally hired this film purely because it starred Robert, who is my favorite actor, but I enjoyed it so much that I had to purchase my own copy. If you're a fan of Robert or just action movies in general, I highly recommend checking this one out.

rmc129-1 This movie is daddy no no brainer actioners.Robert Patrick is a sort of bargain basement superhero, at times so wooden that if he was shot the splinters would fly.Tip off that this is going to be a one way ride down the roller coaster is that Mick Fleetwood, former member of rock band Fleetwood Mac, is the arch villain.We are asked to swallow, among other whole melon sized propositions, that no one but the hero can shoot straight (though sometimes he seems to have the capability of shooting round corners). His foes on the other hand seem incapable of hitting anything unless they are actually holding onto it.Titus Welliver plays the chief villain, who seems to have gone to the Iago School For Scumbags, as he has no redeeming features whatsoever and comes straight from old style melodrama. (Promises the heroine a fate worse than death too - being in another movie like this, for one)Then we have the FBI. It a wonder that J Edgar Hoover doesn't pop up through the floor to protest at the hatchet job done on his boys here ! Great films have been made in black and white, but great acting, dialogue and plotlines are never monochrome.A rancid experience, not because it is violent but because if you believe this movie, you'll believe anything.Rating: It rates itself !
