|THE VIGILANTE FORCE,
Once you accept the premise that a band of vigilante cops is sanctioned by higher authorities, SCARRED CITY is a watchable crime thriller. The stoic Stephen Baldwin does little to heighten his acting persona, but again his laconic often soporific demeanor works in his favor as the cop who finds himself a member of a group of lawmen who take the law into their own hands, ultimately becoming as vile as the perps they are killing. Chazz Palminteri and Tia Carrere are along for the ride, and Carrere shows a fine singing voice in a couple of songs she performs as the typical hooker with a heart of gold. The action scenes are well staged and although the plot itself is Swiss Cheese, it entertains and fulfills what you expect.

|A great surprise,
I didn’t expect the unsual suspects but what I found was a film with some great great moments. funny and caustic….a beautiful song by Tia…. some fantastic scenes made the occasional 2-D plot come to life with the fresh chemistry between the two stars!
