Movie Reviews of The First Power
Movie Review: Piggy Piggy
Summary: 5 Stars
Whispered wishes for a sequel to this groundbreaking film have been uttered for years now. I know I can't be the only fan of this movie that would love to see how this cop turned out 10 years later and I think not only would Lou Diamond Phillips enjoy the heck out of the role, it would probably do well to reserrect his career. I doubt Jeff Kober would turn down a chance to come back either. His character is so memorable as a villain I've put it right up there with Hopkin's Hannibal. I thought he was that good, his look, his voice, his sick laugh, that cold dead stare...no words, Jeff, you played it perfectly. When I saw him playing that wimp in Vin Diesel's A Man Apart, I shuttered to think he has to take crappy roles like that now. He should be a huge player. I just shrugged it off and invisioned him cutting Diesel ear to ear with that blade of his while saying "we're going to go through a very small door, and we're going to go through backwards...that's why I say the prayers in reverse." Then I look back at the screen only to see Kober cowering and I couldn't buy into it.
Start the sequel off right and kill off that dorky redhead. She couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. You'd have to bring her back though because it would be an awesome way to get Logan's attention in the story line. Maybe he's a washed out detective or maybe he's not even a cop at all anymore...then he sees his old psychic love interest just got waxed by somebody that likes to carve inverted pentagrams into his victims...and suddenly he's reminded "how's the stomach buddy boy?" Anyone feeling me out there? Give us a sequel. It's about darn time!
Anyway, it's all here including the already mentioned awesome score from Copeland. Just buy this one. Don't even bother renting it anymore. You've already spent too much at the video store on it anyways. You could have owned it 10 times over by now.
