    Wanabe Bikers 3 Star Review
    2008-11-04 - The acting was good, the story was alright and it was interesting to see Lou Diamond Philips play a bad guy. For some reason Hollywood seems to think that the only way to make a guy seem tough is to have them say the "F" word & "G D" over and over again. Almost all the bikes were Hondas, most were Honda Magnas and Shadows. The Harley at the end of the movie did not seem to be in the rest of the movie and there was one HD Sportster, with a long front end, but if there were any other HD's I missed them. Boy, these were some big tough bikers on their 750 Honda's.

    Actually entertaining 4 Star Review
    2008-06-17 - This movie was not the most well written. However, the acting by the three lead characters saved this move and actually made it enjoyable to watch. The action was decent, and I would recommend it to anyone who is not too snobish with their movies.

    Not too Bad for a B movie 3 Star Review
    2006-05-17 - I saw most of this on TV last Sunday night (1:00am Monday morning). That time slot is dubious at best, often it's junk but occasionally redeems itself.

    For a B movie i actually liked this. Yes the story is very cliched, but making the "hero" an "actor" (e.g., "i'm not a hero but i play one on TV") added just enough of a quirk to take it out of the totally mundane (plus the girl he was trying to save had broken up with him). It isn't too pretentious, and there was something about the characters that was likeable enough that i cared what happened.

    Robert Forster did an excellent job as the hero's "mentor" and the bikers weren't too retarded, especially Hank Dillon who did a good job as well. Also there's the usual dufus town sheriff who tries to save the town by being a total coward.

    This is not a movie you'd want to pay to see in a theater, but as a cheap rental or on TV it's not a complete waste. Maybe on the same level as a Steven Seagal, not as good as a Jackie Chan, but much better than some of the lower level of the same type (though maybe not worth the time i just spent typing this). But then i'm always a sucker to see the good guys win in the end, even if i know what's going to happen. Plus i didn't want to go to sleep and have to wake up for work on Monday morning.

    (P.S. i loved the beat that played at the end, and the credits song that followed, which was Streets of Laredo played by either Headstones or Randy Kiss(?); i've found Headstones to download but not this song, would love to find it.)

    Lone Hero? 2 Star Review
    2004-10-29 - This has got to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The only really good thing about this movie was Lou Diamond Phillips. Admittedly, the only reason I picked this movie up is because he is on the cover. I came very close to turning the movie off, it was just sooo ridiculous.

    Surprisingly good. 5 Star Review
    2004-02-25 - I saw parts of this movie on HBO while flipping between channels looking for something worthwhile to watch. I thought this made for HBO movie was far from what I was looking for. After seeing parts of it probably half a dozen times and being drawn in, I finally sat down and watched it from beginning to end.

    This movie has a straightforward simple plot. At a glance it looks like Hollywood stock and the average back cover synopsis at the movie store wouldn't lead you to believe different. But, this film is of higher quality. The writing is good, even witty. The acting is good. The action is a vehicle to the plot, not center stage. It is a light, benevolent, and heroic movie, with action as its backdrop.

    Unfortunately I haven't seen anything else written or directed by Ken Sanzel worth recommending.
