From the Back Cover
Maria Beltran emigrated to the U.S.A. from San Hermoso at an early age and now returns as an adult after writing a best-selling novel betraying the evil and corruption in the government of her dirt poor native land. What was planned as a simple press junket though Latin America quickly evolves into a living nightmare of murder and kidnapping as she is caught up in the ongoing factions waging a dirty war of political insurrection. Stripped of her freedom and forced squarely into the middle of an assassination plot, Maria must weigh the odds between self-preservation and civil war. Facing the perils of torture, rape and the secret police, she can't trust either her CIA friends or her insurgent enemies. Her finger is on the trigger but she might just as well be the BLIND TARGET

Format:DVD
Sure, the quality of the English is not all that great but this is one of Jesus Franco's best in recent years. It's an action drama with a decent degree of intrigue and some nice comic moments. Rachel Sheppard is a cutie who could be the next darling of the Franco set. Lina Romay looks and acts vicious as the chief female baddie. Even Linnea Quigley is in this. She's looks great and does a fine job in an remarkably straight dramatic role. One Shot Productions delivers a few nice extras on the DVD too with some rough but interesting behind the scenes bits. Even if you hate Franco, and plenty of us do, you could do worse that this interesting potboiler about an ex-patriate writer (Sheppard) returning to her native country on a book tour only to be kidnapped and swept up in a plot of political assassination. Heady stuff for Franco!

My expectations have been lowered by almost every post-80's Franco film I've seen. "Blind Target" was an exception. I expected the worst from this Franco/One Shot collaboration, but this actually has a decent plot and you can tell that some heart went into the making of this movie. It does suffer from bad sound quality and poor DVD transfer but it doesn't have the awful and pointless visual effects of "Lust for Frankenstein" and "Vampire Junction" and best of all, with an actual story, the pace of the film is much better.
Rachel Sheppard is not exactly charismatic but does a decent job in the lead role. Lina Romay, who's been miscast way too often recelntly, does a great job as a villain and Linnea Quigley has a small part as a journalist.
This is not a great masterpiece, but for Franco fans like myself it's definately a step in the right direction and should be checked out. The DVD has some behind the scenes material but not very much.

I just wasted my 5 bucks on this horrendous dvd, the worst movie I ever watched. Terrible plot, terrible acting and terrible audio.
