All over a camera: briefly the storyline is as follows; Mark Pearson [Kris Pope] has in his possession this camera which has something important on it and the bad guys want it back, but before he is captured by them, he is able to drop it off at this police station, for in his best friend to pick it up Seattle Detective Ripley Davis [Steve Borden a.k.a. Sting; the professional wrestler and not the musician,] on Mark's death he is seeking to bring these criminals to justice, even if that means working with Detective Cliff Davies [David Lovgren] his younger brother which has recently transferred in which between these two they share a dramatic historical event.

The pacing of this 87 minute film is good; this is one of those films that does everything to a solidly good level, you know it doesn't do anything wrong it is known as what it is doing and it sticks to what it can and does offer.

The action and art; we do have some occasions of point of perspective; meaning in this example Ripley is shooting at this vehicle whilst he is chasing it on his motorcycle, the viewers get to see this from the perspective of him pointing his gun and riding along with him, you will see his foot on the bike that kind of short. We do get a little bit of variety with the action sequences with as I have already pointed out a motorcycle or chopper is being used and there is some good looking scenery. Moving on to the comedy; because there isn't much of it I want to mention one very small moment I am paraphrasing here; Ripley mentions he was on a sting and the comedy element is the word sting; it is a reference to his wrestling name.

The character developments and the performances; they are safe and reliable versions of their character types and the performances are solidly good as well, but it does help Borden; he does put in a enthusiastic performance as a detective that bends the rules and tries to get results.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as my marking would suggest it is good, I just wouldn't going with high expectations, it is just a solidly good film.
