Instant Death (2017) – Ara Paiaya.
'How do we handle this?' ' Instant Death!!!!' “BLAMMO” etc.
Herculean pop culture legend Lou Ferrigno plays the damaged special ops father of estranged daughter and grandchild, cruelly slain by London mobsters, needless to say, this makes him very, VERY ANGRY, and swiftly thereafter much of London's gangland gets righteously smashed in B-vengeance actioner Instant Death. Bemoaning the generic text is largely pointless, as all the good folk really want to know is whether man mountain Ferrigno delivers some brutal beat-downs, and he most certainly does! Not the most polished of low budget shoot 'em ups, arguably level-leading with a 2nd tier beered-up Dyer/Fairbrass hooligun-fest. I had a proper blast watching big bad Lou Taken care of business, my admittedly low expectations were greatly exceeded, since Lou steps up like a boss, pile-driving through Razor's sleazy lackeys like an out of control armoured truck! The script's lack of invention is woefully apparent, yet there's a tangible nastiness to Razor's blood-thirsty thuggery which dramatically provides for a serviceably malevolent nemesis. While Instant Death is practically indivisible from Danny Dyer's winningly Death Wish'd Vendetta, it is also wholly fair to claim that Lou's unique persona proves irresistible, his sledgehammer-styled justice is awesome, and I sincerely hope this isn't the last we see of the heroically hulking head-knocker!
