Assault on Devil's Island (1997 TV Movie)
2/10
Reduced to basics

This is one of those ultra low rent "action" films which just doesn't give a damn. It is so dire, to criticise it would do no good as you would virtually dissect the film to nothing. Instead its better to just laugh at how bad it is, and enjoy the ride.

Unintentional comedy? It must be. This film has clearly had no real effort or much else put into it. Expect slow-mo explosions, huge guns being fired from the hip, totally unrealistic and uninterested action scenes, and off course Shannon Tweed getting topless within about....5 minutes.

This is the kind of film where the hostages are screaming, card board cut outs of girls who find themselves in a totally laughable situation-and do nothing but wait for help. There's also the henchmen, who are muscled, pony-tailed guys with open waistcoats. Billy Blanks appears as some high kicking, beret wearing villain, who's kicks are so good that the same shot of him kicking Hulk is used about 3 times!!
