Review of Cartel

Cartel (1990)
8/10
Don Stroud and Greg Cummings at their very best

Warning: Spoilers
"Cartel" would be just a simple low budget action flick with Miles O'Keefe as boring hero Taylor but what makes this film really worth to watch are the heavy's.

Don Stroud gives an impressing performance as King, the evil mobster. Stroud, a legendary film veteran, knows exactly how to give life into a character and not to make it look stereo-type. His presence shines throughout the whole film even if he is not in a scene.

And then there is Gregory Scott-Cummings as Rivera, the left hand of King. He too gives an outstanding and really unforgettable performance as villain. Those two actors make this film really worth to watch.

William Smith's appearance as prison guard Mason is much too short and he is really underused here. Wished he had more screen time.

"Cartel" is good entertainment with some action and two great villains who make this film really worth to watch.
