A glimpse of a pre-stardom Sharon Stone in a state of undress may be the sole selling point for this routine police potboiler directed by Dorothy Ann Puzo, daughter of Godfather author Mario Puzo. Brad Davis stars as a tough cop who goes on the warpath to find the brutal hoodlum (Jonathan Banks) who murdered his father. An over-the-top Adam Ant and Eddie Egan, the former policeman whose career served as the basis for The French Connection, add some color, but the script by Puzo, producer Lisa M. Hansen, and Moe Quiqley (from a story by former Haunted Garage frontman Dukey Flyswatter!) is woefully wooden, and the frantic action and performances signify very little. Undiscerning action fans may find some diversion here; all others can disregard. --Paul Gaita

4.0 out of 5 stars Ahh. A good movie due to plot, past, and cast., August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cold Steel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

At first, I didn't think I was going to enjoy this movie as much as I did. The only reason i bought it was because of Adam Ant. But as the movie progressed, so did my interest in the story and how it would end up. This movie has a great story, good acting (which can be a rarity in most movies), and the great line from Adam Ant: "I feel bigger with a trigger. ya know." to sum it up, 2 enthusiastic thumbs up from a girly who normally doesn't like movies with a lot of bang bang shoot-em up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just plain fun., June 2, 2010

This review is from: Cold Steel (DVD)

On Christmas Eve, Los Angeles police officer Johnny Modine's (The late Brad Davis, Midnight Express) father is brutally killed by ruthless cutthroat (Jonathan Banks, Pin) and his two goons, played by Adam Ant (Slam Dance) and Sy Richardson (Tripwire). As it turns out, the murder of Modine's father was part of a plan of revenge towards Modine for causing the killer to lose his voice and having to use an electronic talk box. On behalf of this, Modine is willing to risk his career and sanity to bring the killer down and avenge his father's death. Along the way, Modine is eventually taken off the case by his captain and meets the luring Kathy Connors (Sharon Stone, Total Recall), who hides a secret connection of her own to both the killer and Modine.

I first saw the film on television when I was 14. I felt the exact way about the film then, and I sure as heck feel the same way about it now having watched it on DVD at the age of 21.

Recommended.

DVD EXTRAS: Widescreen and fullscreen versions of the film, English, French, Spanish, and Chinese subtitles and trailers for xXx, The Devil's Own and Enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars eh...., January 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cold Steel (DVD)

This movie is just o.k. Like pretty much everyone else I bought it so I could drool over Adam Ant for an hour and a half. For that it was good. If there is an actor you have the hots for in this movie, it's worth buying. Otherwise.....skip it.
