Frame by Frame

Directed by:  Douglas Barr
Starring:  Michael Biehn, Marg Helgenberger
Running Time:  1h 45min

This action suspense doesn't really have too much action.  Which is a shame because it stars an extremely underrated action hero in Biehn.  The fact that he has to slum it in this film is upsetting.  But what he brings to his role really makes the movie.  His performance keeps us interested in what would otherwise be a more for TV snore fest.  The sub-plot seems totally inconsequential, there only to consume time to make this feature length.  Or perhaps to supply us with the "action".  It does more of the former than the latter.  Watch it only for the talent of Biehn, and how he is creepingly likeable.

Grade: C-
