Impact Point (2008)

I had a favorite poster of Melissa Keller on my wall for years. It's from a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot, and it shows her leaning back in a bikini against a huge stack of ripe melons. And she's got this really sexy grin and a sort of totally relaxed body language that makes it seem casual and sensual and dreamlike all at once.Well, I don't think this movie captures Melissa Keller's appeal to quite that degree. She plays a nice, down to earth girl who wants to be a volleyball star, but she's stalked by this horrible guy, and then she has to join forces with this really stuck up rival volley ball player who hates her. The odd thing is, Kayla Ewell, who plays the stuck up Jen Crowe, actually comes off much better than Melissa Keller. She's plainly a more experienced actress. She gives this girl a really forceful, dynamic personality, and a kind of darkly sexual charisma. Her personality is so strong you expect her to kill of her partner's stalker for her and then they win the championship! Instead there's this lame cop who doesn't look a day over 55, and he's sort of wimpy and yet somehow he saves the day at the end. Or something. Gee, I really miss that old poster of Melissa Keller showing off her melons! As a matter of fact, I wrote a whole romance novel based on that picture and imagining Melissa as an undercover agent on a tropical island. It's called DEMARCO'S CAPTIVE by Carol Storm and you can find it on Amazon and at Blushing Books!

I will offer spoilers.The movie is stupid and the plot is retarded and everything about it basically is screwed up.So far today I've seen 3 movies and all of them were on the same level as this...totally retarded.With perhaps the most retarded police force in all of California, this makes for one boring, lame ass and stupid flick which should save you some time by not watching it.With senseless action and plot development - I am still amazed that with so many horrible movies being made that there is still a thriving film industry in California.

I found it entertaining and watchable. It has a bit of suspense, a bit of minor violence, a scary character, all overlaid onto a professional beach volley ball setting. The female cast, Melissa Keller and Kayla Ewell, do a great job in the competition scenes with the aid of some shrewd directing. Melissa Keller adds an engaging acting personality to her long established fashion and swimsuit modeling credentials. Some rear nudity shower scenes are the likely source of the R-rating, but this is not an offensive movie. Although lightly done, all of the summer entertainment features are present: great visuals, sports competition and personal best, rivalry, a very bad guy, police and crowd scenes, romance,...

The movie didn't really do anything for me...The story was same old same old, just a different setting, with the same old psycho creep.The acting was bordering on okay but exaggerated, I don't know if volleyball players are suppose to be more annoying than cheerleaders but it seems so...Its a nice movie to watch when you're having some people over and actually just need something in the background while having a conversation... But if you want some thrills and scares, I'd think your better off renting The Little Mermaid.Some nice girls in bikini's help but the story is so full of plot holes, I'd rather watch this as an ultra-soft porn movie... But then again I don't like story lines in that kind of movies! Wait for it to appear on cable/satellite but don't pick this one up over something else at the video shop... You'd most probably regret it...
