adonis98-743-186503 A drug-lord targets an undercover FBI agent and the hit man she falls in love with while tracking. Stephen Rea and Heather Locklear give 2 strong leading perfomances in this boring Crime Drama that doesn't do much with it's rest actors like The Mask's Peter Greene who is terrible as the film's main antagonist and the action that after a while seems to get worse and worse. (4.5/10)
George Parker "Double Tap" asks the question: Can a beautiful deep cover FBI agent (Locklear) fall for a shadowy hitman (Rea) with scruples? This, the film's premise, has potential which is mostly lost in a morass of Hollyweird window dressing including jerky jump cuts, unnecessary blends, strange music, over acting, cheap atmospherics, etc. with little attention paid to story coherence and character development. Bottom line: "Double Tap" is little more than an fodder for those in the mood for some noirish crime drama on late night TV.
gamewatchers I love this movie.Stephen Rea is wonderful as Cypher.Very Intense. I watched this movie one night and couldn't get it out of my mind. This movies deserves much more credit than it got.Heather also was an asset to this film.
scrutiny Double Tap was a film relegated to HBO's cheesy Friday night premieres and that's a shame because it deserved so much more. It stars Heather Locklear (!), no I did not stutter, as a FBI agent involved in a sting operation who gets caught in the middle of a hitman's grocery list, seemingly he's taking down all the drug dealers in town. Along for the ride is Kevin Gage and Mykelti Williamson from Heat and the great Peter Greene. What distinguishes this effort is its terse dialogue, vivid characterizations, and stylish camera moves (loved the score by Moby). Double Tap should be held as a model for what a B movie low on cash but high on content can do. And Premiere magazine liked Montana, ha! This is the real deal folks.
