windtar Whew, this movie tried but failed in my book.They seemed to try to make this a mind movie, twisting and turning characters in your head of who's who. seems everybodies not who they say they are, or are people who are all conniving without others knowing. They took shootings, chases and car chases into unbelievable situations.the acting is horrible, as they try to make everybody cool, but in fact, all woulda been killed if the situation was real. they made the cops look dumb and the crooks look like they were cool when in fact made it look fake. the ending was just so dumb on who the main character was. when he shoots the bad guy at the end, he does a summersault for no reason, it was like, why? you gotta be kidding!!SPOILER = the main character is shot, whacked over head repeatedly with tennis racket, jumps off a 50 foot bridge, jumps through a plate-glass window, then flies off car thru store window, punched etc.. and he goes on with no apparent injurythe only reason i finished this movie was because my remote controls battery died and i was too lazy to get up to turn off. id only recommend this movie if there was nothing but infomercials or romantic chick flicks onOK, OK, i know this was a little harsh, but its my review, take it or leave it. hehe i gave it a 5 only because they actually got it into theatres.Now, if they took the basic plot and rewrote it, it might actually be a better movie
themoviebuff2003 Well, I'll probably get pounded for giving this one a medium rating, but I was able to set through this one even though the writing is bad, and so is the direction and editing. I just can't totally rip a movie that has this much talent in the cast. Pity that a better job couldn't have been done in all other areas. Lance Henricksen and David Warner, as well as Joe Don Baker, are great character actors, and although it pained me to see them wasted in this, they at least tried their best to give it some vestige of dignity. Counting those three, you've got about 9 or ten people here that are at least capable actors and have a following, including Ashley 'Hellraiser' Lawrence and Corrina 'Corey' Everson, who gets my vote for one of the hottest babes of all time-and both women were, sadly, never utilized properly by the powers that be in Hollywood. How the makers of this thing EVER were able to assemble all this great group is totally beyond me, but as I said, there's no other reason to watch this.
bsl05 Lance Henriksen has a knack for being the top name in a B-movie, even in this case starring along side Charles Napier, Master Control Program, and Joe Don Baker. As always he does a great job of being the bad guy, but the plot is just bad (don't even get me started about the ending). And the editing is so horrible it might actually be a thing of beauty. Is it just me, or does it seem that Joe Don Baker was spliced into the movie at the last minute? Also, anytime glass is broken in this movie, the editing is so anti-phenomenal. Lastly, after watching this, I figure David Warner is dying for Tron 2.0 to finally get the green light.Unfortunately for Felony, this will be the third movie I give the rating of 1/10, joining Iron Eagle IV and No Mercy.
BastardBlob I saw this film only because I really liked Combs in "Re-Animator" and "The Frighteners". "Felony", however is a low-budget, slow-moving and predictable film and Combs is its only saving grace, and even he can't make it work.For die hard Combs/action fans only.A 3 out of 10.
