The TV page of the newspaper described this as " Action drama . When a gang of bank robbers take a boy hostage his mother armed with a bow and arrow is determined to stop them "
Wow I thought I was going to be watching a TVM unlike I`d never seen before with Rambolina turning lowlife scumbags into human pin cushions . Unfortunately DEAD AHEAD ( Sounds very like a maritime type title doesn`t it ? ) is basically like every other TVM you`ve seen with tedious sequences of Mom lecuturing her kids on work ethic .
This might have been improved if it was one of those cheap to video films because much of the unrealism stems from the bad guys saying things like " Shut the hell up " and " What the heck are doing ? Playing with your zip ? ". As much as I disliked it CROCODILE 2 DEATH SWAMP at least had the gang of bank robbers swearing and that`s always going to be the problem with this type of film - Children are abducted , people die but everyone minds their language
