A Poorly Edited, Low-Budget Action Film
5 September 2022
This film essentially begins with a young man by the name of "Arthur 'Skiggy' Lewis" (J. Eric Bell) and his cousin "Laura 'Honeybaby' Lewis" (Diana Sands) winning a television game show quiz with the prize being a free cruise to Lebanon. The catch is that the television game show wants to showcase the trip, so they also send two of their camera crew by the names of "Sam" (Seth Allen) and "Herb" (Nabih Aboul Hoson) to take pictures and film as much of it as possible. And while both Skiggy or Honeybaby actually manage to tolerate their constant attention, things get quite complicated when an Asian woman named "Madame Chan" (Gay Suilin) slips a microdot containing a secret formula into Laura's handbag which a certain clandestine group needs to help them seize power in an African country. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this obviously low-budget film was rather badly edited as few of the scenes flowed very smoothly together. So bad, in fact, that it almost seemed like it was filmed in a hurry. Likewise, the acting wasn't that good and the dialogue was even worse. That being said, those looking for a good international action-thriller might be terribly disappointed and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
