Follow
the blood. Find the Assassin.
By
all accounts it is best to call this film: a Backyard production.
The cast is comprised of first timers, bad music, and poorly mixed
audio but worst of all: the washed out attempt at stylization. This
filmmaker has watched many popular movies and strives to be a second
rate Michael Bay though doesn't quite succeed at even that.
In
the traditions of Clint Eastwood and Bruce Lee, Director Fernando A.
Mico gives us MIKO, a lone assassin with a score to settle, in this
modern-day tale of chivalry and revenge. Cool, soft-spoken, and
deadly, Miko crosses the continent performing a series of hits and
counter-hits for a pair of rival crime bosses. Miko is equally
immune to the power of mafia dons and beautiful women, until a chance
meeting leads to his discovery by Jack Carousseau (David Perkins), an
idealistic young police detective.
Determined
to track Miko down, Jack follows Miko's bloody trail from Los Angeles
to Washington D.C., but the killer is always one step ahead of him.
Even after a seductive FBI agent (Megan M. Keefe) calls him off
Miko's case, Jack refuses to stop searching. Ultimately, Jack
catches up to Miko, but what happens between them challenges Jack's
own sense of right and wrong and changes him forever.
Picture
and sound on the disc are below standards for a good home video
presentation. The 2.0 Audio mix (presumably lossy Dolby) has
terrible sound effects and music and dialogue that are constantly
fighting to be heard. A majority of the film is blown out (and the
camera set to auto focus) which looses detail and makes the film feel
even more low budget.
There
are no menus or extras on the disc.
Avoid
Ever After (Reloaded) at all costs unleash... unless you are
friends with the filmmakers.
