1.0 out of 5 stars David Heavener is no Harrison Ford., April 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fugitive X [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I rented this video because the title reminded me of one of my favorite films, THE FUGITIVE, but I was very disappointed. The story is about this guy (Heavener himself) who is injected with this tracking device and he is hunted down by these killers as a group of rich gamblers bet on when and if he will be killed. It sounds like an interesting story, and it may have worked if the direction and acting had been better, but David Heavener is no Harrison Ford and he doesn't have the talent to pull it off. I'd have to give it a thumbs down.

This review is from: Fugitive X [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In this outrageously contrived film, David Heavner wrote, directed and stars as a yuppie computer nerd who is targeted as the prey in some rich man's game. How the prey is chosen is never clarified, and how it can be conducted is rather incredible. People sitting around betting on whether someone will be killed or not is a hard scenario to swallow. The action scenes are redundant, and Heavener is not the world's most talented actor. Being able to claim star/director/producer status doesn't ensure quality.
Joining Heavener: Richard Norton as the son of the man responsible for the game; Lynn Holly Johnson with her usual ebullient smile as Heavener's ex-wife; William Windom hamming it up as Heavener's Uncle Billy.
A passable timewaster.
