Double Tap is a fresh take on a genre of film that I feel has been lacking creativity for about a decade. It's a classic hitman movie with one of my favorite actors, Stephen Rea(Crying Game, Michael Collins) and some of the all-time greatest supporting actors like Peter Greene(Usual Suspects), Kevin Gage(Heat, GI Jane), and Mikelti Williamson(Forrest Gump). Stylized camera work was bold and effective. One of the coolest action-thrillers on the video shelves!

The last time I saw Heather Locklear in anything was her performance as Sammy Jo in TV's Dynasty. Come to think of it, she was quite wonderful in that role. This film is has the advantage of a 100 percent cast, story, production, etc., and some rather great music. Let's hope to see more of Heather in films of this calibre. She deserves the opportunity, after all these years, to go straight to the top.

Ya know, I really hate it when I see an actor I like doing stupid movies. I could care less if heather locklear does a made to video, thats her bread and butter. But Steven(Crying Game) Rea is really annoying here. He's supposed to be some hard core killer or something, but in his attempts to put on a southern (I think) American accent, he sounds more like a nerdy android. Oh yeah- they try to be arty in this drivel and use every stupid film school trick to give this tripe some kind of "edge" Terrible.
