ZERO TOLERANCE was a recent "bargain bin" DVD purchase and in all honesty I threw it into the player this weekend as an antidote after watching "World Trade Center," figuring that after watching such a heavy-duty drama I needed to see something empty-headed as a chaser. In that regard, ZERO TOLERANCE didn't disappoint. It's a by-the-numbers revenge fantasy whose "plot" (scumbag drug dealers kill an FBI agent's family, so he goes rogue and hunts them down one by one) was probably written on a cocktail napkin, but there's so much wall to wall violence, carnage, and gunfire going off during its short running time that you barely have time to notice how silly the whole thing is. Robert Patrick of "Terminator 2" fame plays our FBI hero, who racks up some pretty impressive frequent flyer miles as he criss crosses the country picking off the heads of the "White Hand" drug cartel in Las Vegas, in New Orleans, and all points in between. My wife and I found it extremely funny after a while that there are dozens and dozens of goons firing thousands of rounds of ammunition at our hero throughout this movie and none of them even come close to hitting him, meanwhile Patrick can pop up from his hiding spots with two nine-millimeters clutched in his hands, fire off two shots at a time, and yet he hits his target every time. I didn't bother to try and keep a body count for this movie but I'm sure the grand total must've been astronomical. Nothing here hasn't already been done before in countless other shoot-em-up action movies like the "Death Wish" or "Punisher" films (to name but a few) but it sure is a fun ride while it's playing! If you find "Zero Tolerance" for less than five bucks (like I did) then by all means, take the ride.

This came on television the other day and I decided to watch it. I like Robert Patrick a lot, but I knew nothing about this movie going in. When I saw the credits, I was delighted to see it was made by PM Entertainment. I think PM makes some pretty fine action movies, much better than most of the big studio productions we are fed each and every year, I mean, who could possibly not think `Firetrap' was an awesome movie? Anyway, the only PM movie I thought was bad was `No Escape No Return' (which I coincidentally watched last week), so I was sure I would like `Zero Tolerance.' And I was right. Joseph Merhi takes an otherwise standard plotline and makes it interesting, something that PM does best. Merhi takes an uncomfortably brutal scene early in the movie and makes it something more by cutting to other characters throughout it, fitting the dialogue in perfectly in contrast to the brutal scene happening many miles away. There's not much more I can add to the plot that other people here haven't done so already, so I will skip that part. I will say that I thought Patrick was really wonderful as an FBI agent on the edge after a drug cartel assassinates his family. He brought some fine emotion into the part; the only time he has done better is in his 1996 film `Asylum,' one of my personal favorite movies. Kristen Meadows was good, too. I loved the scenes with her father, who doesn't understand why she has to keep taking off on some assignment during the worst of hours. The father is a nice little touch that you won't find in most action movies. As for the villains, I got a big kick out of seeing Mick Fleetwood play the head of the cartel. He was surprisingly good, as was Miles O'Keefe, playing another of the cartel's big chiefs. O'Keefe's good job is a real treat. I also liked the brief part of Bill Hufsey, as Omar, a wisecracking thug whose biggest joke I am going to have to use one someone someday. The trouble with these great villains is that they aren't given much screen time. Instead, the villain that most screen time is Titus Welliver, the thug responsible for Patrick's grief. Welliver spouts out foul language and consistently points the blame of the mishaps on other people. He gets so annoying that I just wanted Patrick to hurry up and snub him out. Instead, the best villains are taken out too early or in the wrong way. Welliver alone makes the movie less enjoyable than what it should have been. That's not saying the rest of the movie is 100% perfect, either, because I did not like the last scene. *MINOR SPOILER* Aside from the vanishing handcuffs, the scene is bad in that it killed the prevailing theme of the whole movie, that Patrick has to let it all go and let the system take its course. Merhi must have thought that viewers would rather see raw justice. Well, there were ways of doing both (which could have involved one of the other villains). Anyhow, I say this is another winner from PM Entertainment. Just give this movie (as well as other action movies from PM) a chance and you might find yourself engrossed in it. You may even take up my mode of thinking in that PM is a better choice than similar films from the big studios. Zantara's score: 7 out of 10.

This movie is daddy no no brainer actioners.Robert Patrick is a sort of bargain basement superhero, at times so wooden that if he was shot the splinters would fly.Tip off that this is going to be a one way ride down the roller coaster is that Mick Fleetwood, former member of rock band Fleetwood Mac, is the arch villain.We are asked to swallow, among other whole melon sized propositions, that no one but the hero can shoot straight (though sometimes he seems to have the capability of shooting round corners). His foes on the other hand seem incapable of hitting anything unless they are actually holding onto it.Titus Welliver plays the chief villain, who seems to have gone to the Iago School For Scumbags, as he has no redeeming features whatsoever and comes straight from old style melodrama. (Promises the heroine a fate worse than death too - being in another movie like this, for one)Then we have the FBI. It a wonder that J Edgar Hoover doesn't pop up through the floor to protest at the hatchet job done on his boys here ! Great films have been made in black and white, but great acting, dialogue and plotlines are never monochrome.A rancid experience, not because it is violent but because if you believe this movie, you'll believe anything.Rating: It rates itself !
