IMDB

Michael Dudikoff (of American Ninja "fame") stars as a former secret service agent who is now taking care of his little sister after his parents were murdered. His best friend, a black senator, is being targeted by a group of hunters, called Pentangle, who hunt the most dangerous game (man).
When the leader of Pentangle finds out that Dudikoff is an ex-secret service man, they decide to burn down his house, kill the senator and his family and kidnap his little sister. This, rightfully, pisses Dudikoff off. He meets up with them to kill them one by one in fights with various weapons.
I just randomly picked this movie out without knowing what it was. It ended up not being bad at all. In fact, it was good in a USA Up All Night sort of way. Dudikoff is always funny to me. When I was a kid I watched all of the American Ninja movies several times. Me and my brother used to play American Ninja.
The direction is good enough for an 80s direct to video (I assume) action movie. The acting is fine, except for Dudikoff's sister, who is terrible. The action is pretty decent, but not that good. Really, this is movie is sort of so bad that it's good, but it manages to not be boring like so many of those kind of movies.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
