Instinct to Kill (2001)

This comment might be a spoiler for this dumb movie, but even I don't have the answer so I'm not really spoiling the movie then am I? The one person who was trying to save BOTH THEIR DUMB ASSES (the chick and the supposed teacher), we never get an update. If Kadeem had to die, so be it, but at least we should have gotten the chance to know. Then the end of the movie, the girl and the guy walk off happy and laughing and joking like no one else played the part of trying to kill her stupid ex-husband so she could be safe. Are you kidding me??? Are you freakin' kidding me??? "I'm gonna teach you how to relax!" Seriously!!!!! Suck it producer and director!! Kadeem, I liked your character very much in this movie, despite the dumb people you had to work with.

They should have a 0 rating choice so this movie could get what it deserves. What a complete pile of crap! Maybe I'm just a sick person who likes to torture myself by watching movies I know are going to be garbage cans, but hey... someone has to watch it right? Anyway, this is just another example of a waste of time and money. It's the same old "Murderer Husband gets busted trying to kill wife only to escape from prison and hunt her down but unaware that she hired a trainer to teach her to fight back" story. B movie from hell! Complete rip off of other movies, even going as far to rip off The Silence of the Lambs, Lector prison break scene! If you like to force yourself into clawing your eyes out because of the bad scenes and you feel like sticking nails in your ears due to lame script, then make sure you sit through this piece of trash.This junk gives beating a dead horse new meaning... it literally is beyond belief in it's attempt to make the viewer feel for any of these characters. I could go on all day, but I won't.. I just wanted to warn you all that watching this will probably ruin your day.

Loosely based on the book The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner, Instinct to Kill puts Tim Abell and Mark Dacascos back together for the first time since The Base. Turning the story round and telling it much more from the killer's point of view gives the film advantages over the book, not least of which is the fact that we get to see more of Abell. He is the saving of the film, bringing the murderer, his character, to life in a way that Dacascos and Cryder seem unable to do with theirs. Unfortunately interesting characters have been omitted from the book which would have improved the film, but the progress of Jim Beckett reminds me a lot of the Andy Robinson character from Dirty Harry, without the totally over the top acting. It is fervently hoped that Abell does not suffer the same fate as Robinson and remain typecast as the psychotic killer, he is too good an actor for that.Some of the make up used to disguise the murderer is a little amateurish but other special effects and the fight scenes particularly are very well done. Especially touching is the scene between Beckett and his father. What intrigued me most was Beckett's ongoing murder spree which was conducted without the expected descent into madness or raving looney tunes. He remained the same calculated, in control character throughout, who if you passed him in the street you would have thought nothing of. No rolling eyes giving the insanity away or the dishevelled appearance crying out for the men in white coats to pick him up. Abell plays it straight and it works.Overall I really enjoyed the film and would recommend it.

I rented this one only because both Kadeem Hardison and Mark Dacascos where back in a movie again. The last one was Drive and it was awesome. But this one is so so boring that I almost feel asleep. Kadeem is playing a cop, Mark is now some kind of a bodyguard and we have Tim Abell as a killer who is trying to hunt down his wife. Of course she goes to Mark etc. etc. My opinion 1/10
