Summary: Powerful Drama CUTS deeply!
Comment: Pacino, DeNiro, Olivier, Shattner, these are the gods of today's Acting Pantheon. To that august list one may now add the name....NORRIS!!!
Chuck blows away all previous concepts of what it means to be an actor. Seriously I never felt as "inside" another character as I have for Chuck's character, Junior Detective Tiffany Neversmile.
Tiffany, as portrayed by Mr. Norris, is a high school teen-aged Goth girl with an interest in criminal justice and who is studying a Mail-Order course in circumcison in order to become the world's first Mail-order mohel, and a goil mohel at that .She gets involved in the typical teen-age diamond smuggling scenario, and through her partnership with Detective Inspector/Asst. Bowling Coach Shlomoe "The Tranny Granny" Running Bear, not only brings the smugglers to justice, but also triumphs over her own pain, depression and fashion shortcomings.
To make it easy for you, this film is a sort of synthesis of films like Mean Girls, The Hot Chick, Ghost World and Requiem for a Dream, with an added liberal dose of martial arts, transvestitism, Deth Metal and marionettes. The soundtrack and score are a wonderful collaboration between Faith Hill and Goblin.
But it's Norris' performance as high-school Goth girl Tiffany Neversmile that elevates this far above the level of the usual teen-age melodrama. His legs, skinny, bird-like and thankfully shaven, promote the illusion that Chuck Norris is a little girl. Chuck keeps the beard for the role and I think it only helps, since Norris as a woman possesses an unearthly beauty and the whiskers help to ground it. If you've ever wanted to see Chuck Norris in a vinyl Gothic mini-dress, this film is for you.
The Academy shouldn't just give Mr. Norris a retro-Oscar for his work in this movie; they should shave him, grind off his privates and cover him in gold plating.

Summary: This is One Great Movie
Comment: This is the type of movie that makes you think about what is going on in the world. People are not always as they seem because many have secret pasts that can be quite deadly. Chuck Norris does a great job of dealing with the dangerous forces because he manages to get out of extremely tight situations that one would swear he couldn't get out of. Chuck Norris does a wonderful job of demonstarting loyalty to doing what is right regardless of what others are doing and never giving up even if the
odds are all against you.

Summary: DECENT
Comment: THE CUTTER
I was sitting not to long ago and realized hey I have a review of a Steven Seagal movie and a couple Van Dam movies, and a Wesley Snipes movie review, were is Chuck. And by Chuck I mean Chuck Norris, any one who got to train with and be in a movie with Bruce Lee is cool with me. So I decided that the first one of his movies my brother could name would be the one I would review, I wish he could have chosen a little better. This movie has got to be one of his worst movies he has ever made, this direct to DVD feature is not a classic in any sense of the word. Well any way he named this one so I went into the collection and sure enough there it was, DVD player here we come.
The story is simple enough, Norris is a retired cop who is now a p.i. and out and about solving cases his way. Of course that does not leave him looking to good to the police and most of them hate him, so naturally he rebels against the very people he used to work for. And after a case he is on goes wrong he takes another case looking for a diamond cutter, hence the title. And that is pretty much it and that seems pretty simple right, could have even been an episode of his old TV show Walker. But unfortunately that is almost what it is, it seems like it could have been better as a TV movie, maybe the USA network could have done something with this.
Don't get it wrong it is not a horrible film, there is some to like about this movie. Norris portrays his character well enough to make it believable, and even the action is pretty good as well. Bruce Haskett seemed like he was trying to write a decent film, maybe with a better budget this could have been a pretty good action flick. Same could be said about director William Tannen who did what he could I `am sure with what he had. Of course I should have expected a low budget flick like this coming from producers Avi Lerner and Boaz Davidson. Both of these guys have no doubt produced some winners at the box office you may remember both from Rambo, but mostly direct to DVD. You may remember both from almost every direct to DVD Steven Seagal & Van Dam & Wesley Snipes movies.
The bad thing about this movie is that it is not to memorable, after it was over I really didn't remember any scenes from it or any of the performers from it except Norris. Not all of the actors were bad, but they didn't stand out either. The worst I can say about this film is that after it is over you probably won't watch it again, and at best it is not the worst movie ever. The action was decent even though Norris is a bit older now my friends, it was still decent.

Summary: Disappearing video
Comment: The dvd arrived on time. The first 5 or 10 minutes of the dvd was excellent, then the video started to disappear off and on, some times more off than on, until finally I gave up and ejected the dvd. This dvd is unusable and I do not recommend buying this dvd from this source. I did not contact this vendor about the dvd because I have not had good luck contacting used dvd vendors. I have learned to take my losses and they are piling up.
