Marked Man

DIRECTED BY: Marc F. Voizard

REVIEWED: 06-06-97

Here's my biggest problem with this lame Fugitive wanna-be flick: Bekilted wrestling star/actor "Rowdy" Roddy Piper runs like he made in his pants, and since he spends 90 percent of the movie running, it makes for a very uncomfortable viewing experience. I personally don't remember Roddy's trotting being so disturbing in They Live or Hell Comes to Frogtown, so maybe this is the result of a recent beating at the hands of Hulk Hogan or something. Anyway, Roddy's fiance is killed by a drunken driver; Roddy punches the souse who falls and busts his head open; Roddy goes to jail and accidentally stumbles across some money-laundering, double-crossing nonsense; Roddy escapes and is pursued while he tries to clear his name. Yeah yeah yeah. Over the course of the flick, Roddy kills at least three people "by accident" and beats the hell out of a lot of balding guys, including a cop who howls throughout the entire fight. Miles "Tarzan/Ator" O'Keefe plays the bad guy, but I never really figured out what his deal was. And why the hell do half the cast members talk like they've got a mouthful of Snack Pack? Let's just lay it on the line--this movie crushed my soul. (Live Entertainment)
