Customer Rating: Summary: James Bond wannabe movie. Comment: This is an embarassing excuse for a James Bond flick. It tries to be a globe-trotting, fast-paced action movie, but winds being too slow, poorly directed, & not worth viewing again to me. It stars Kristie Phillips as Charlie Case, a gymnast turned spy when her family is kidnapped by a Soviet spy & forced to reveal some secret codes. Lance Henriksen is Charlie's dad, an ex spy who is tracking Ukranian missles on the black market. He is kidnapped Sarah Douglas, Carla Davis, a Soviet spy who is the villian of the flick. The pace is slow, it takes too long to develop fully into something exciting. I almost felt like turning it off when I first watched it. It is directed by Albert Pyun, who tries to have some good camerawork at times in the movie, but his inexperience shows here. Several of the shots are okay, but look like they rushed it through. The special effects are not too great & the action is hardly memorable also. There are no high-tech weapons, special gear, or cool fight scenes. Just Kristie showing off her martial arts skills at times. The movie shows some good points though, it has some good scenes, the cast has good chemistry, & the acting is pretty good. Though, it should've been redone as a comedy/action movie to get some better reviews. Customer Rating: Summary: Henriksen, Tomerson true good sports in making "Spitfire" Comment: This movie is so bad it's hilarious! Every new scene will leave you hysterical. Lance Henriksen (Aliens) plays a James Bond knock-off and Tim Tomerson (Trancers) a drunk sports reporter who are both somehow involved with a gymnist. How they keep it together has to be the fact they are getting paid to. And I'm not so sure of that from watching their faces. I know I see them smiling when they can't help themselves. They are the saving grace of this "no way" movie. Another plus is a scene where Robert Patrick (X-Files) is a gum-chewing agency man with a gun pulled on Mr. Henriksen's spy guy character. He has no lines but he is definitely grinning. If you can see this movie free, good. If you want to make it a financial tryout, make it a cheap one.
