Living to Die (1990) – Wings Hauser.

'They all feel the same when the lights go off!'

A PM Entertainment DTV crime thriller with Wings Hauser, directed by Wings Hauser? I'm all over this like sweet mustard on a salty Polish sausage, dude! The routine bubblegum noir shtick is given additional savour by the magnetic pull of Arnold Vosloo and darkly charismatic hunk Wings Hauser. The familiar plot unfurls comfortably like a well worn sleeping bag, being a somewhat cosy, though far from disagreeable affair. Living To Die is a solid once only for Hauser, PM Entertainment addicts, and some of the banter proved sharper than expected, I can't be certain, but the juicier ripostes certainly felt ad-libbed? Less histrionic gun-play and slow-mo vehicular mayhem than usual, but the dynamic Hauser ably kept this watchable Vegas potboiler afloat almost single-handed. Keeping expectations low, Living To Die certainly remains a decent enough DTV time-killer. For the sake of full disclosure, I remain a huge admirer of Mr. Hauser's work, and own a large number of PM entertainment titles on DVD, so my positive impression is, perhaps, not altogether objective! (NOT) spoiler alert: Wing's gets to boink the bodacious-looking broad (Darcy DeMoss). T & A cognoscenti will greatly relish the exquisite vision of the distractingly delectable DeMoss in the blissful buff.
